first class again

We took the shinkansen back to Tokyo tonight... and were stuck again in first class. I was surprised because tomorrow is a holiday, so I figured we wouldn't have any problem today. As it was we had to wait for an hour before we could even get a seat in first class (the trains go every 20 minutes or so). It was a nice relaxing ride home though.

Oh, funny story of the day. Hiroshi was helping clean up the yard at his mom's and was mowing the lawn. (Well, actually scything the lawn since that is essentially what they use here, considering the "lawn" isn't that big!). Anyway, you know you are a city boy when you chop down a fair number of your mom's vegetable plants thinking they are weeds. LOL So, before lettign him near your garden, make sure you point out what is good and what isn't ;) Of course, now he'll be mad at me for telling this, but I thought it was hilarious.
