He's sleeping... I thought they only did that on country trains, but I've been enlightened.

Rezz, that's awesome. I could spend hours standing here, watching all the cars, going "Oooooh!", "Aaaaaah!" and "What the hell is that???"

Justin, I think it's just an oydessy nothing special. The E7 is definitely a nice car...pity I'm stone broke at the moment.

Hey, PM me about tonight if it's still on.

OMG I've gotta get back to Japan one of these days. I went there when I was 15 (mainly Gifu), it's a bit more populous than the shots Dave posted, but there are still heaps of vacant blocks, and I don't remember there being many buildings more than two storeys?? Anyway, it's funny that, even in an area where there is plenty of space, they still use space saving house designs. The homestay family I was with, their staircase was like a bloody ladder, it was so steep and narrow. The bastards laughed at me because I came down it backwards - my feet wouldn't fit on the steps going forward

I used to be able to speak Japanese fairly well, but having not used it for the best part of seven or eight years, you could say it's pretty rusty

Bahhh...back in Xmas '99 after a long night out, we all caught the first train home back to Sanda. A few of my mates including myself slept along the seats against the wall and a few climbed up onto the bag racks and slept there all the way from Amagasaski to Sanda. They couldn't give a fark anymore, we were all completely exhausted and drunk. I'm sure the attendant would have came around but none of us would have been awake.

...and we wonder why the Japanese think of us so badly, stupid young gaijins we were. I guess it better us sleep on the train home then sleep at the park.

LOL...I wish I had, though the fact was it was 5 years ago and I couldn't afford a Digi and we were all completely smashed.

Like we will be with the upcoming installment of the "Just tryin to get it in - consult me!!! aka Justin" Vs "Jaggy Bastard aka Troy" next pool game.

Here are some pics of the truly *HUGE* electronics megastore, Yodobashi Camera:

It really is my favourite store in the world... bar all the SuperAutobacs, Crystals, UpGarages etc

A typical giant TV screen... a feature of the bigger cities in Japan. This ones different because it's "Yodobashi-Vision".

Hey!!! It's Eric Bana! Anyone remember him from the Comedy Company? Well, of 100 Japanese girls polled, 95% of them prefered Eric Bana over Brad Pitt!

There had to have been at least 1000 people on the 1st floor alone... :0

Just 1/3 (!!!) of the TV display... see how the display curves around to the left? Well theres just as many big flatsceen TVs stacked like in this pic going around the full 180 degrees.

I liked this one! ALL the info for the status of the media in use is displayed on that little screen, BECAUSE THIS MUTHA HAS A 40 GIG HDD!!!!! And ADSL network adapter! NO.MORE. CD. BASED. MEDIA. Everything can be d/l'ed irect from the web. Are these type of stereos in Oz?

At this point, a security guard politely asked me not to take anymore pictures... nevertheless, I shall be back with more soon!

[Sciby]

lol, Rezz the undercover Yodobashi spy!

Damn. I want to go there.

[SuAvE-1]

thats an absolutely awesome photo collection there, I feel like going to Japan now to see more.

Hopefully the skyline I pick-up at the auctions over there hasn't been driven by a maniac :chairshot
