I usually take the Shinkansen (bullet train) but thought that as I'm officially a bum without a job I should really take the cheap option.
the bus is pretty much full but in typical Japanese style it's as quiet as my empty apartment in Tokyo. God, remember to put your phone to silent mode, don't wanna be the odd one out!
yesterday we drove all the way to Niigata prefecture just to eat some crab.
I'm not a big fan of crab so it kinda bewildered me why one would want to make a long trip just for these red long-legged deep sea scavengers.
my mind and stomach was elsewhere thinking about my up and coming interviews in Tokyo so I really didn't have an appetite for fresh raw crab. I had a few legs though. skipped on the kani-miso (crab brain).
instead I opted for some yummy negi-toro don; raw tuna and spring onions on a bed of rice; or should I say a bowl of rice.
and yeah to see the ocean again; Nagano ain't got no ocean.
pretty rough, but a nice sight.
feeling a bit car, bus sick...
time to look at the road.
