Big in Japan

[Dorito86]

The trip was non-car related. More of a cultural experience. But cars are a part of my life and part of Japan, so... Most cars in Japan are small city cars, MPVs and stations. The tuned-up monsters only come out at night and a foreigner without a car and a Japanese connection is highly unlikely to bump into touge runs, drag races or simple meetings.

Having said that, my schedule was packed with museums, temples, tradition in general. I just barely had the chance to take these few car pictures. The only owner I had the chance to talk to (barely, with hand signals) was the oldschool Skyline driver. He was friendly and very proud of his baby (as anyone would be).

As for the non-car par of the trip, Japan is an amazing country in every respect. People are friendly and will always try their best to help as much as they can. Everything seems organized to the last detail and works as planned. Trasportation, queing, eating, even using the toilet was a whole new experience for me, coming from a city where total chaos, last minute planning and loud people are the norm.

If it weren't so expensive, I'd be planning my next trip already!
