In the airport and ready to go.

Some 15 hours later.
We are in Japan and driving on the wrong side.
|
Even the Japanese have bumberstickers
|
The toilet in our bathroom.
It came with a control panel for the seat warmer and the deployable bidet.
|
A park in Nagoya.
It had a Science museum and an Art museum.
|
Gerd is Happy
|
Another view of the park.
The museum in the distance is the Science museum.
|
Some random shrine.
We took a short walk around Nagoya and found this shrine. I was over 1500 years old.
|
Another random shrine.
It too was really ancient.
|
Some streets are messy.
Mostly though the wires are underground but some streets a have alot of wires hanging around.
|
TV Tower
|
Billboards
Some thing that really makes Japan look different are these billboards atop various buildings, it just gives more of an uneven feel to the city skyline.
|
Shanty house.

In the subway system.
This is us waiting around for the subway to show up. From left to right we have Megan, Gerd, and Shoji.
|
Atop Nagoya towers
From up here you can make out "Naogya Castle" off in the distance. It acctually is a replica that was tossed up, as the original was completely destroyed in Word War II. As was most of Nagoya.
|
Another shot of the castle.
With a bit more of the neon visible.
|
Classic shot of Japan.
All aglow in Japanese advertising.
