Awesome pictures, looks like you had a fun time.

kanekz · 04-20-2004, 12:42 AM

wow...good pics. I've been to Kamakura a few times. Amazingly beautiful!! at the least. Many other shrines as well. Its been 3yrs since I went back. Ive been back to Japan probably a total of 11 times or so. All my relatives live out there...so its cool. Free rooms!! haha. But yea...UP GARAGE...i always see it in J-mags. I probably wont go back for another 2yrs or so. Its cool to have relatives back there....but not ALLL of them cause you dont have none here stateside. Oh well..who needs them.

And anyone thats going to bring up..."why dont you have your cousins export stuff here"....they are too damn busy with their lives to worry about car parts and their Ame-li-can cousin. Boooo. hah.

TNathe · 04-20-2004, 08:36 AM

JDM fish don't need water

That shit's great!

rancid240 · 04-21-2004, 12:17 AM

this reminds me of my summers. Japan can be so gay when you cant ditch your mom for 10 seconds. Up garage is awesome I always ride up to shop on my bicycle and they give me funny looks. On another note, Lost in Translation sucked monkey cack.

Edit

Is that a shooting star or what?

was this just a short trip to japan or do you have family over there

I just went over there for a month with a friend. Stayed at his aunt's for a week and a half and then on my own for three weeks. Going back in the summer.

Quote:

how do you get treated?(i'm assuming you're a gaijin).

Just fine. Didn't get discriminated against (or none that I noticed at least

). The people are great... You meet some interesting people on trains who want to practice their English. One dude was a singer for a Limp Bizkit cover band... He wanted to practice English on the train on his way to perform in Yokohama. He worked at a restaurant and I ended up scoring a free meal for talking to him

.

chokudoriS13 · 04-22-2004, 05:00 AM

more random pics

more Rainbow Bridge...

Interesting way to save space

Snow on the way to Fuju-san. We're driving a rebadged Isuzu Bighorn (Trooper) Diesel... Badged as an Opel. Badge-engineering is weird sometimes...

Yes, I am wearing just a thermal and t-shirt in -10 C weather... I should have checked the weather reports =)... Bottoms of my pantlegs are soaked and freezing...

Toll Gate

Breakfast at McD's drive-through =)

bad-ass NSX parked on the street

Bad pic of Tahoe vs. Kei-car

Wipeout on the C1 (Wangan)

TNathe · 04-21-2004, 06:35 AM

That's what it looks like to me too. What a picture! Sell that bad boy and make some money.

No Motiv · 04-21-2004, 10:25 AM

the photos look great...you got some skills.....was this just a short trip to japan or do you have family over there......I want to go it looks so nice......too much $$ though...lol jmd pigeon

Var · 04-21-2004, 10:27 AM

So how much would it cost a tourist just to survive 2 weeks in Tokyo?

Andrew Bohan · 04-21-2004, 10:44 AM

Is that a shooting star or what?

That's what it looks like to me too

you guys are so funny. ever take a pic at night? you need long exposure to make it look good
long exposure means airplanes appear as long streaks that look like fat shooting stars

zenkiDori · 04-21-2004, 01:58 PM

wow, looks really cool. my girl and i are moving to japan for a while after college, really excited about it! how do you get treated?(i'm assuming you're a gaijin).
