Default Pictures from Japan

Alright well, sorry for the slow speed for the pictures.. they are hosted on my site which is in turn hosted on my computer.. Can't access photobucket and all that ---- from work so.. here they are my pictures from Japan this year when I went. All these car's were just mostly parked around the area I was staying within a square kilometer of each other, found while I was walking our dogs in Japan, Aichi Prefecture (About a 30 minute drive away from Nagoya). When I was there I realized VERY quickly that EVERYONE drives sweet, clean cars. No lime green - brown, rice bullshit. It was epic. Can't wait til I move there in 1-2 years.

Enjoy.

Wow, that all looks so clean.

Now I wonder what happened in this whole "lost in translation" thing with going from that ^ to some of what we see here? lol

Either way, looks like an awesome place to be if you're a car enthusiast.

It's a true 180SX, not a 240.

And in reply to everyone else, Japan is amazing I'd advise you all to go there you'd all love it. All the cars are clean, NO rice bullshit, and even when it is rice.. it's so JDM, that you can't hate on it.

No problem, glad you liked 'em.

Uploaded them to photobucket too and replaced the links, should be faster to load now and permanent. :P

Btw the best part of the entire trip was driving on the roads, they are more narrow then our roads here obviously.. and they got those crazy gutters on the sides.. but the pavement is pretty much brand new everywhere. Driving up and down a mountain road was the most epic, so much fun hahaha (AND CRAZY TECHNICAL). Also when I was there I notice pretty much NO car was older than 2000, and if it was .. it was like an R33.. an old Evo or STI, etc.. NO cars had rust at all and most under 100k KM's.. God damn Japanese people.

You know what's bizarre? In some of the photos, one of the first things I noticed (after the cars, of course) was how clean the paved parking lots were. Impressive.

I was there on vacation, and meeting my girlfriends family for 3-4 weeks. My girlfriend is from Japan, she's a student here learning English, so when I had the chance I went there to see it myself, lets be honest we all would go if we had the opportunity :P.

I'm moving there because by 2012, she will be done school here.. and we've pretty much decided that when she's done school here.. if we're still together that we should live in Japan for a while, probably 1-2 years. I want to, she wants to.. It's a pretty ------ awesome place, better paying jobs for both of us, car's galore for me and she misses home.. I'm not too attached to Canada.. so I'm down. :P

Not that hard to get there, 1000$ roundtrip to Tokyo. Hotel or housing would probably be kind of expensive though while your there. I was living at my girlfriends parents for the three weeks I was there. If you had like 3000$ you could probably go for a sick-*** week. :P

I'll never forget it lol. First night in Tokyo when I got there, after I was finally off the train and ----.. went to my girlfriends friends apartment right beside Ikebukero station and a white R34 and black R33 drove by together lol. I was flipping out, everyone else was like what's the big deal... Ahh... to live in Japan.

^^^ well think about it if you did live there it wouldn't be a big deal but when you see them here you appreciate it so much...so it's kinda good you don't see them as often. Living there it's just like see a corolla here lmao.

lol True, I suppose. I just blame the fact that they were girls, and know nothing about REAL cars. Though.. I'm slowly brain washing my girlfriend into cars... She's already told me some of the 'mods' she want's to do if she gets a DC5.. like buying coilovers and getting the ITR kit hahahaha.

OR You could live there, never see a rusty car again.. and see nothing but beautiful brand new cars and crazy *** sports cars all the time. Sounds more like heaven to me, then something I would get bored off.. but only time will tell!

No worries, glad you enjoyed 'em. It's not too expensive to live in Japan, unless your in Tokyo... Getting a job without being able to speak Japanese is the hard part, which is why I'm in the process of learning.
