AGE

It was in Asakusa.... i sooo wanted one, but it was $20-$50 AUD for 1 glass, and i couldn't decide on just one! Today....

Plastic Beer. Don't Parking!

I'm here now. DeathStar weren't that bad... food was average but that's to be expected. And $7 for a Asahi is a bit insulting.....but for the price of the airfare they are good. Make sure you bring some thongs/sandles or shoes that are comfortable when VERY wet. Damn Typhoons dump a shit load of rain! Oh and you can buy cheap umbrellas from chemist's, 7/11's (and the like) and the Superfunhappydiscount King Penguin shop. Go a Umbrella thats 65cm or bigger. Umbrellas coast about 400-600 Yen. EVERYONE has umbrellas!

Another ace thing about Japanese lollies.... http://olivepixel.livejournal.com/128775.html

Well what about a thread for things that you can only get in Japan.... Well here's the thread for things, links, vids and anything else that Japan only gets and the rest of the world does without. First off.... watch the first vid and guess the product!?!

I hope so... I fly out on Sunday, back to Tokyo. Number 1 stop, that giant Gundam robot!!!

Spotted a 575 Ferrari yesterday on City rd. It was no match for the work van , perhaps it was the ugly roof and bonnet scoop.

Damn, that White RA is nice. Nice pics there, Joeledge!

Yeah, and why am i a Muppet?

30 what? Have a Avatar.... http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/72/joeyjoe.gif (size 120x89)

Amen. 3 WRX drivers went out, only 2 could (just) compete.

Are you sure?? I got fined many moons ago for no chains in a 4WD ute it was only $160 ish for disobeying a sign. Nowadays I believe it's in the $300 range. ( http://wikiski.com/wiki/index.php/Chains )

Quick and drunk go....

TOTALLY AGREE

甘い乗車 ???

Ok from what i can work out, here are some Super Autobacs. The Tokyo Bay one, The Yokohama one, And i'm not sure about this Nakameguro one, but if you check it out on Google maps @ street level, there is a Super Autobacs of some description. I can post up more if i can find more, or anyone can post up even links to the stores then i can find them on Google maps and do the above to make things easy.

This will always open a locked car....

^^^ Excellent advice Beer Baron!! I totally agree (from my brief time in Tokyo ) I've stayed in Shinjuku, Asakusa and Ginza.... and Shinjuku was just so easy to get to anywhere from the train station. But be warned, the Shinjuku station is a little on the large size! If you like a nice quiet Ryokan, try this one. It's in Asakusa and it's very easy to find. http://www.andon.co.jp/index.html well priced, cheap brekkie, good selection of DVD's at the front desk and there's a Nissan dealership about a 5 min walk away. (but i only saw a Micra in the window )

I've stayed here and i found it very good for a base around Tokyo. http://www.nshotel.com/english/index.htm I'm staying there again in 2 weeks.

That would almost be a Ovlov land speed record!!! And i'm noticng the clenched fists on the wheel. checks facebook

At a guess, i reckon $5k AUD. Pretty cheap for a car that's unique and know World Wide.

[Jealous]!!!! Was there any Autobahn adventures? And Is there a rough estimate of booze consumed?

^^^Now that's a great idea!!! Ad some of this, and those plates aren't going anywhere.

As long as VB cleans my BBQ the same, i don't care.
