Japan
Shinkansen
The Japanese like to
book their seats before getting on the train.
This means finding the correct carriage, row and seat. These trains
are very long though, so it pays to be standing in the correct place
on the platform before it pulls into the station.
Hikari is the name
of the train and Shin Osaka station is the
destination. All very simple really.
You can meet some interesting people on the Shinkansen. Most
people like to sleep though and I wouldn't advise waking people to
introduce yourself.
This sure beats economy
class! You get plenty of leg room and
comfy seats on the Shinkansen. This picture also shows that they
are just as clean on the inside as they are on the outside.
When in Japan do as
the Japanese do! This involves eating some
sushi before sleeping through the rest of the journey.
If you book your seats
too late you can't sit with
your pals.
The Japanese will find any excuse to fall asleep.
I mean, as if working 18 hour days is an excuse.
Wimps.
