Momo Okayama Electric Tramway - Special ᴴᴰ ● 岡山電気軌道
► Momo means peach in Japanese, and as Okayama prefecture is particularly famous for it's delicious peach production, Momo Okaden soon became the nickname of Okayama Electric Tramway.
The company was founded in 1910, while their first tram line opened in 1912. With just 4.7 km track in total, this tram line is known to be one of the shortest in Japan.
I took a short ride on it, and was lucky enough to ride one of the oldest tramcars in service, it was a fun contrast to Japan's otherwise very modern train system. - Enjoy!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

A streetcar is running downtown Okayama, Western Japan. Because the width of the road is narrow, there is no platform in the tram stop.
