Sunday Surprise...!

How would you classify your neighborhood...quiet or not so quiet. No matter how you rate it, I'll bet these folks would trade places in a heartbeat.

If you live in China, a metro might go right through your apartment building.

And you thought living near the train tracks was a bad thing – this metro station in Chongqing is located inside a residential building and trains pass through the sixth floor. The solution has also been used in crowded spots in Japan, and residents are typically not too thrilled about the feat of architecture.

I wonder if they charge extra for fast access to the train station?

Coffee inside one more time.

Hey Gorges...
Pretty amazing, isn't it?
Thanks for stopping by this morning!

It is a short walk to the train station!

Momlady said...

Don't think I'd like to live there.

Hey Rob...
Could come in handy if it rains.
Thanks for coming over this morning!


Hey Momlady...
You know I don't either! Too crowded for me!
Thanks for the visit today!

I can't even imagine!

The sounds of far away trains always made be relaxed and/or sleepy, but definitely not that close. My maternal grandparents lived right next to the tracks, but he was an engineer. My paternal grandparents lived one street away from the tracks in a small town, but he was a railroad conductor.

And they are so over populated they really don't have much choice about finding a place to live. It has to be awful.


Coffee right now is good where ever we have it as long as it's with good friends

Hey Dizzy...
I know you like trains, but having one run through your building might be a tad too much, don't you think?
Thanks for dropping by today!


Hey Jo...
I'd be for moving to the country, or at least another building!
Thanks, dear, for dropping by this morning!

Hey Sis...

Thanks for stopping by today!
