Tokyonaut In Training

Tomorrow I'm departing on some sort of spaceship for a trip to the futuristic land of Tokyo. The Shinkansen 700 Series is not the fastest bullet train Japan has produced, but it's the newest and in widest circulation - and a top speed of 177 mph is nothing to scoff at, even if it is #2! The trip would take nearly five hours by car, but by train is only an hour and a half. Barely enough time to finish my 'bacon and egg bun' I bought at the grocery store this evening and play some video games! (Game Boy Micro is the final word in travel entertainment, and I'm sure it's pleased to be on this reunion tour of its homeland)
