Weekend plans

Last night we breathed a sigh of relief as we settled in for a Friday night pizza and looked forward to our weekend.

Today we're taking the 10:40 Asagiri "Romance Car" to Shinjuku in Tokyo. The Romance Car is an Odakyu express train that is super nice and comfortable with reserved seats and scenic views. It's not nearly as fast as the Shinkansen (Bullet Train), but it has the superior advantage of leaving straight from our very own little train station, saving us the hassle (and expense) of getting to the Mishima Shinkansen station.

In Shinjuku we plan to shop a little and have an exotic lunch before meeting a friend of Brian's for dinner.

We're going to spend the night in Tokyo and make our way to the Tokyo Motor Show tomorrow, which is a shortish train ride from central Tokyo. It's the final day for the Motor Show, so we're expecting to be overcome by the sweltering crowds...but still hope to get a look at the new cars!

New cars? What about the models who stand beside the cars! That would have to be the best part for some of us :)

Enjoy the show - take lots of pictures.
