Pros and Cons of Shinkansen 新幹線

Pros and Cons o...
I was doing 160 mph ... That i... I was doing 160 mph ... That is fast.
Connecting Tokyo and Osaka (500 km or 320miles) in about 2 and half hours, Shinkansen is a very reliable and fast and comfortable transpiration even when you compare it to the airlines. Jets fly from Tokyo to Osaka in about 50 minutes, but you need to take train, bus or taxi to get to the downtown area whereas Shinkansen gets you to the middle of the city. That is all good.

But there is one drawback I have to mention. Because Shinkansen has no competitor, the price is fixed and it is rather high. Unless you buy airline ticket at the last minute, airlines offer cheaper transportation between Tokyo and Osaka.

One more thing. Shinkansen have not accident since it started operation back in 1964. That is over 53 years without an accident.

Hollywood Remake of Japanese Classic

Hollywood Remake of Japanes...
The "Ghost in the Shell" is a very popular anime series as many of you know already This year, Hollywood took the story and remakes it to the large screen.

Did you see it?
Did you like it?

Hollywood tends to change the story (a bit) to make it more Americanized. By doing that, they killed the story line. I see this at Hollywood version of GODZILLA movies.

Marijuwana (大麻) in Japan

My Friend Owns & Operta... My Friend Owns & Opertate Marijuwana Plantation in Seattle.
Marijuwana is illigal in Japan. So even if you are coming from the places that marijuwana is legal, make sure you don't carry any of that to Japan.

Washington State, where I am at, marijuwana is legal and avaiable at the specilized stores.
