Are you take the rice cracker to the deer?

When I went in April, this year, and the rice cracker was given, I was bit my buttocks by the deer.

It is not painful but many deer came near me and it was fearful.

No, we didn't give any rice crackers to the deer this time. But Troy said he got bit on the asse... I mean buttocks when he went to Nara last time.

One deer tried to eat my camera case...

Actually Dave, it wasn't that busy this time. When I went last time (just on 4 years ago) it was definately busier. This time there seemed to be a whole lot more foreigners too... I think the whole "Japan is really expensive" rumour is finally dieing off and people are actually seeing Japan as a legit holiday destination.

"I think the whole "Japan is really expensive" rumour..."

rumour???? dead-set reality (though the rail pass deals help now).

Other than trips to tokyo, I've only ventured out of niigata once for a domestic holiday (tokyo-osaka-hiroshima-and back) - and it's no surprise I'm going to china next month (it's cheaper than going to osaka for a week!)

as for the shika - have fond memories of a japanese tourist running for his life, chased by a couple of very aggressive bambis (that was at miyajima, though) :(

Actually Diaoni I posted that comment from a "first time visitor to Japan" point of view, many folks I talk to back home talk of visiting Japan now (they didn't, what, 5 years ago... citing cost as an excuse) but now it seems Japan is beginning to break free of that stereotype... even if it's actually true or not.

Yeah, travelling around Japan is expensive, whether in your own car or by public transport. :) If it wasn't for stupidly expensive expressway tolls, I think I would have been to way more places in the last five years than I have now. So far I know about every square metre of Yamanashi (cause it don't cost anything to get around) but once you start getting on the expressway, costs can soon rise and a day trip can cost upwards of 5,000 yen in tolls alone...:D

what were the government saying...they were hoping for all roads to be toll free by 2030...or something like that? By that time they'll probably be no more petrol and we'll all be getting around on electric scooters and won't bl00dy need the expressways! :)

visitor or no, I still think it's too expensive
I don't get the point you're trying to make? Or is that it... you think Japan is too expensive. If so, you don't need to tell me that mate... $30 in toll on Sunday speaks for itself.

my point?

was here; "rumour???? dead-set reality"

that is all.

I don't think it's a rumour! Again, I don't get your point because by telling me it's a "dead-set reality" implies that I don't think Japan is expensive, which, as I said before (eg: getting raped on the weekend by tolls) couldn't be further from the truth. 

To make things simple, how many times have people said to you "I heard Japan was really expensive", then told you they'd rather go somewhere like Europe for that kind of money instead? This is what I meant by rumour. Go back and read what I posted and then realize that I'm not letting on that Japan is cheaper than a few years ago (or whatever).

Worst conversation ever.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
