* This is called the Super Azusa Express Limited. Again, I was taking the numbered and super fast train to Shiojiri City, Nagano.. Nagano is also known as Epson City.
* Leaving Shinjuku..
* Along the way shortly after shinjuku..
* Nagano is a place of hilly area.. lotsa mountain. Wonderful scenery! The Japs are super efficient ppl. Look they build the bridge just to safe time. When will bolehland be like this?
* Common scene along the way...
* i just love the mountain scene.. The bloody train is moving so fast that even there is motion blurr from far.. Could be running at 300KM or more an hour
* Day one.. into training in the afternoon.
* dINNER time. It is a practise that the guests should sit inside at the host near to the door. Typical japanese go to dinner place. Left is my immediate contact in Japan. He is the son of the owner..Taking over the father place in international trading. Beside is the field engineer base in Tokyo. Nice gentleman ... I call him bachang.. wonder what that is..
* This part is fun. You get to grind the sesame urself. Then mix with sauce ... It is particularly use to indulge with fried stuff. The Japanese use it as synonym to " pong tai keok" the boss is like to grind the sesame...
* Ken san.. the daredevil...he could drive 140KM in chow kit road.. UseD to have a EVO 6. NOW driving Toyota BB...which I kinda fall in love too..
* On the right is the owner himself. Going for kidney transplant next year. he said " give me ur kidney." Damn..that kinda of tone.. just show how precious our organ is. This is my first real japanese food in Japan.
* tHIS is the restaurant lah.....I reached Japan at 7 something and it was raining. Waited almost 2 hours for my train to arrive.
Took almost one and a half hour to Shinjuku, Tokyo ...and another Two and a half hour to Shiojiri City Nagano.. Shiojiri city is also name because there are the last place to have salt those day. It is way up the moutain..
It is damn cool and nice. The cloud is so near to the earth. Very Very beautiful countryside. Wish I have the time to walk about and take pictures. How beautiful this place is... Another alternative place for Cameron Highland of course at a price that cost much much much more to be able to indulge in.
So.. Japanese is an aging country. Yes it is ...old ppl everywhere. But they are active beings and still couple travel around places. How beautiful this is .
Ok...nuff of writing.
