The Chiba Urban Monorail
I visited a friend in Chiba and got the chance to ride the Chiba monorail recently. There are a few monorails in Japan, some that run above the tracks and some that hang underneath them.

The carriages are painted with scenes of Chiba daily life. monkey police?

When you board the train you dont realize the carriage is hanging from the rails above. Once you leave the station the ground disappears below you and it is a bit unnerving.

RT @Shibuya246: Chiba Monorail | Japan | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/29Y It looks like an amusement park ride.
Did you feel queesy riding it?lol It does look like a ride at a park, I wouldn't mind trying it. Chiba is where you went for that party with the council member and met with the mascot Cheeba Kun,wasn't it?
I'm watching the American version of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. wish the Japanese versions could be shown over here,but as you know only a certain amount of different things can be shown over here, you know censors and such. So is the differences between our 2 nations.
Have a great weekend.
It’s actually a really smooth ride. Yes, this is the same place I went to the party.
