I know I haven’t posted in a while—I’ve been traveling a lot for business and, more recently, for pleasure. Hopefully this one will make up for it...I’m posting it from a bullet train on my way from Tokyo to Osaka. Here are some cars I saw in the last couple days. I also saw a 911 GT3 while in a hurry to get somewhere and an RS6 Avant, along with many mysterious JDM Toyota models and other small things we don’t get in North America. And I rode in a sweet Toyota Crown with a wool interior.
It’s like my car’s more responsible twin.
This guy really runs the spectrum of Subarus.
Wait, that’s not a car.

I will see your Shinkansen Longboye and raise you this ancient serpent dragon monster from Japanese legend

Enjoy your stay in Osaka! I live nearby and it’s a very fun place to be!

Have you done the Mario Kart tour? Looks like fun.

We didn’t. I originally planned on doing it but we spent the time doing other stuff.

I’m sure you found plenty to do. I’m doing some research for a trip in 2020 before the Olympics. I don’t plan to drive a kart either but still looks like fun!

That will be a fun trip. I love Osaka. If you haven’t come across it yet I suggest you try okonomiyaki, it’s delicious. Like if I am anywhere even close to Osaka and have one meal it’s what I’m getting.

Is that the octopus fries balls?

No it’s more like a a bunch of noodles and other good stuff on a griddle held together by egg or batter. I’ve heard it called Japanese Pizza. Octopus balls are Takuyaki. Also good if you will eat octopus

Ahhhh yes. I’ve seen that. There is just too much good food there to remember all the names! Thanks for the tip.

The food: it is good.
