FReepers don't sleep...they wait.
LOL
I was, well, waiting for someone to say that.
I just polished off another Asalil so I'm not waiting one bit. I'm off for sashimi in about an hour. Right after I shower and shave. Boy, it was hot and humid here today. The bulletrains are cool, tho. Had reserved seats in the Green Car.
For anyone coming to Japan, get a JR pass. It entitles you to unlimited reserved, first-class, transport on any JR train. Quite a good deal. You can't buy the JR pass in Japan, it has to be ppurchased outside of Japan and only non-Japanese can have the pass.
