RichardInSF, you’re right about this. There wasn’t a single station in Tokyo I ran into trouble using the Suica card (remember, however, I stayed off the private lines). Just tap the card on the blue dot at each entry gate and you’re in.
(While in Osaka, I used a daily pass for local metro, plus a JR North pass for Osaka>Kyoto and Osaka>Nara. For the trips between cities, needed to walk through the manned gate to flash my JR pass since those don’t slide through the automated readers used in the Osaka metro system.)

Weird, agreed. When I view it while logged in, all I see is the URL link. When viewed while not logged in, the gi-gan-ta version appears. I just resized it (again) in Photoshop, but it appears the BB software needs time to catch up with the relinked file. :::sigh:::
