Was the Shinkansen able to get a lot of money after starting in 1964? Because there was a lot of different Shinkansen lines opening not long after? I'm studying about the Shinkansen and can understand how it went so well economically when they had to lend so much money from the world bank and go over budget? Otherwise I wanna say that this was a great video! / Michelle from Sweden
