Hello from Japan

[tigeryas]

Hello fellow SAUWA'ers

It's been just over a week since I arrived in Japan, and many would think that there would be a lot of nice cars here.

I'm staying in Kochi at the moment, and i bet u dont know where that is. It's in the Shikoku Island of Japan, the one shaped a bit like australia, the small one, etc etc... It's a bit smaller than Perth, but hell, the roads are so narrow that many times a car has to give way to an oncoming car to avoid collision.

I'm here for work purposes and also to visit my grandparents (my dad's side, my mum's side is situated in Hiroshima). I work from sunrise to sunset 5 days a week and sleep around 9pm to wake up by around 6-6.30am, a far cry from my leisurely days after my exams when i sleep around 5am and wake up around lunchtime.

Ok, enough of my personal life =P ... cars? I would say around 60-80% of the cars (in Kochi anyway) are those small boxy cars like Honda Life, Daihatsu Mira, Sirion, Micra etc etc. Theyre all riced up big time as well, many have body kits, lowered, sideskirts, loud mufflers (doubt they would have exhaust systems) and white headlights. I have seen a few skylines, ranging from sleek black R32s to white R33 GTR, blue R34 GTR and quite a few 4 door R32 and R33s. I think it's just too difficult to drive a big car. My workmate drives a lowered-below-the-subway Silvia S13, he said cheap ones can be found anywhere between $3000 to $8000 (depends obviously).

I dont have much net access here, I'm at the local library and msn doesnt even work (not even those web messenger things) so my posts will be few and far between.

Drive safely!!!
