well, when i got a job at japan railways, it was sort of a dream come true because before that, i did not really have a job so once i started working there, i felt like it meant i could become part of society. after a few years, the president ofjapan railways, mr sogo, started the bullet train project and i asked the company to move me to tokaido which was the bullet train line so i could be a driver. of course i remember the first time i saw it. ijust said, "wow!" and i got to drive it on one of the testjourneys. i leaned forward towards the windscreen and i took the controls up to maximum, so 160 kilometres an hour. and on that test drive the train wasn't sealed properly so the window was making a noise. and then it was up to 200 kilometres an hour.
