Shinkansen names
You may be familiar with the Japanese bullet train-- called the shinkansen. I have been riding them a lot this week. There are many trains, and they have fast-sounding names like "lightening" (hikari), "echo" (kodama), and "wings" (tsubasa).
Then Japan built the "superexpress" shinkansen, which travels between Tokyo and Kyoto with only two other stops, so it makes the whole journey in about two hours. What name could they possibly give to this train that would be swifter and more powerful than the ones written above?
They finally decided on "hope" (nozomi).
