It's like peeing on a roller coaster


Train travel in Japan is so easy, comfortable and fast.  We've been on the  amazing bullet trains a few times now and the squat toilets are fun! There have hand rails by the sides, so you need to hold on , so it's like peeing on a roller coaster!!!!  When you are waiting at the station and the bullet train goes past, it's too fast to take a picture, to say that it passes in a blink of an eye isn't an exaggeration! 

Everyone is so friendly and we haven't paid for a glass of sake yet!!!!! Had a great bar snack last night - spicy cod intestines !!!!! You never know what exciting thing is in the menu to try here!!!!!  We're now in Takayama, an old town not far from the norther alps.  It's famed for its Hida beef, which is amazing quality and to be found in most dishes (apart from my bar snack last night!!).  So I'll be searching for that in the menu today.
