On the train to Toyobashi. Been seeing sakura trees blossoming here and there woot spring is really here. Will update this trip much more precisely on the blog since i just realized that facebook deletes old posts. Right now it's still thr easiest to update with. The trains or normal trains on the Toukaido lines are quite nice and quiet. After the morning rush around 9 am and in the middle of the line the traind become short 3 car trains from the looong 15 train I took from Tokyo. They're suprisingly spacious albeit not seats but bench chairs. But around the morning you can get a decent seat here and there most often. Just don't bother brining a suitcase. Best bet is a small backpack with a days worth of change. If planning on an over stay somewhere just sleep with the previous day's clothes i recommed. Just arrived at Toyodacho. Toyota city supposedly, won't stop for a look though, need to push through. According to the nice time table i bought at a book store at Odaiba Aqua cit
y book store. ( it was cheap 5 dollars for the entire country's JR lines and some private lines) Well according to it , if I follow it now and not stop i'll get home by 15:47 around 4 o'clock. With that sort of time I'll just pack it in and rest to beat the rush hour home. See you later gain. Just arrived at Tenryuugawa. Cool name for a station. Liste ing to music, nice view of Japan from the train, little towns of Japan all over and a working phone with signal sure is nice. Softbank signal is suprisingly good on JR areas except through tunnels. Did I mention the Sakuras ? Better go out for another day for Sakuras then.
