Japan - Train to Hell

The 3:05 Kodama Shinkansen (Bullet Train) makes a quick stop in Hell on the way to Tokyo.

Japan - Ham Sandwich

I was taking the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) back to Tokyo and wanted to get something to eat, so I bought a ham sandwich from the food cart. This is my sad, mostly meatless sandwich.

Where's the Wendy's lady when you need her? "Where's the Beef!" except in this case it's where's the Ham!

Where's the meat!

Japan - Shinkansen (Bullet Train)

Coming back from my Golden Week in Hakuba I took the Shinkansen. I was curious about how fast we were actually going, so I used my hiking GPS to see. According to the GPS we hit 161 mph (259.1 kph). It's pretty amazing how smooth the ride is even when going that fast.
