Asia-Europe Express: From the southernmost point of continental Asia in Singapore to Cape Nordkinn, the northernmost on continental Europe; one rail road to link them all.

August 2008: Suwa, Japan.
Suwa is the site of one of the most famous Jinja, Shinto temple, in Japan. Two actually, since there are two, one Summer temple and one Autumn temple. The two sites a link by road lined on its side with old hotels and bathhouse.
I am not sure what planted the idea in my brain. Ever since my first trip out of Singapore to Malaysia on the Malaysia Railway, I have been wondering how far north I could push on overland on trains. When I did really sit down and study it, it seems very far north: all the way to Europe. And so, the whole idea of jumping on a train in Singapore, getting off and jumping on another all the way until the last one pulls up into a platform somewhere in the Scandanavia continues to fascinate in the next few years.
When I do talk about this ideas to friends, some find it totally impossible. The whole seperation of Europe from Asia has made many think that it is a true geographical seperation rather than a political one.
