Seaside Train, Coastline Ferry
No matter what form of transportation I take, the ocean is never far from me. It struck me over the end of last week that I am perpetually at the water’s edge. I don’t mind, however. I feel like my buddy James much of the time – uncomfortable, irritable, and a touch faded when removed from my natural habitat. I come from a seaside city, and came to a seaside city. Good match, if you ask me. The cool thing is, living out here, I get the joy of seeing huge mountains right next to the deep. It’s cool. Here are 2 videos of me traveling right next to or right on top of the water. Watch if you like.
This is a video of the ferry ride back to Hakatajima from Imabari. The water was a bit choppy. These videos are really just meant to give an impression of what I spend a lot of my time here doing…riding around in boats. From island to island, and from school to school. I’ve come to really like ferries as a method for commuting.
This is a video of the train ride into Matsuyama from Imabari. You pass the shore for a nice long time during the trip. It’s gorgeous. Especially around the Hojo area. Anyway, this video is much longer than the video above, but is really intended to do the same thing: give a vague impression of what my commuting looks like. I really enjoy it sometimes, and I am really frustrated by it sometimes. Either way, I get a lot of reading done in between destinations. Hope this entry wasn’t too boring.
