This morning, I took subway line B to go to take a tango class in Buenos Aires. When the train arrived, suddenly I saw some Chinese character on the train. I was quite surprised and tried to find out why. Then I found out that the train in fact was an old Japanese train made in 1961. That’s why the seat arrangement looked a bit familiar to me. I guess the Argentinian bought these second hand train from Japan and used them for the subway.
Well, these trains are not the oldest. If you go to take line A, then you can find some even older – trains with wooden seats and doors. I´m not a train expert so I don´t know how old exactly those trains are, but they look like the old wooden tram that we used to have in Hong Kong.
It’s great to hear about these small details about the life in Buenos Aires. Keep them coming and enjoy your stay!
Is this a new pair of shoes? Must show me the pics!
P.S/ I see you have also changed your blog colours to reflect the Nonya palate:)
