Mono-ra-ru. Sugoi desu!

The Seattle monoraru isn't actually all that sugoi. It's slow, expensive and the windows are covered with advertising that obstructs what should be a lovely view of the north end of the city center. I can't imagine how Seattle will make it a viable form of public transportation. Are the Japanese involved?

In spite of its inefficacy, I hauled Claudia and Sucad onto the monorail. It's a fun way to get to the Space Needle once a decade. Surprisingly, there was a human driver on board. Japanese obviously not involved yet.
