Slow train tracks and laid back lives

Today, people all over the world seem to like fast food, fast life etc. Amazingly there seem to be exceptions. Japan is well known for it's trains and train tracks. This morning NHK WORLD JAPAN TV Channel telecast a very interesting show featuring a slow train track in it's Dive in Tokyo program. One of these trains running at a speed of 20 km per hour is very nice for a relaxed laid back sight seeing experience.

During my stay abroad, weekends were holidays that were very useful in relaxing our minds and enabling us to go for enjoyable outings with friends.
