Toyama Trip

as i said in my previous post, 2 japanese dudes and i went on a crazy train trip. the night before, i went to stay at my tutor's place cos we wanted to leave on the first train out at 5.58am! lols, we didnt even sleep that nightt, played the japanese version of 'taiti' called 'dai hei min' or sth like tht. more complicated, complex and definitely more fun (unless u play taiti with $$) rules are abundant and it makes u think of different strategies! after breakfast made by her mom,we left at 558am on a not so cold day luckily. as we didnt sleep that night, most of the train time was devoted to sleeping. after alot of train changing pass takayama n so on, and taking a bus ( cos the train line broke due to a typhoon i think) we finally reached toyama at 1215 pm! thats about 6 hours! our 1st stop was lunch, a stand soba eatery! pretty good n cheap, ehehe. next off, we went to visit the new light rail transit in the city and i was pretty impressed, hoped on it for 100 yen and went to the beach! for the 2 japanese guys from gifu where it isnt covered by sea, they love the sea alot :P ehehe .. i loved the beach too and the view was great.. only thing missing was bikini babes but what can i expect during winter? after pics here n there, we headed departed from toyama at 5pm.. took a different route this time pass fukui to maibara( so we actually made one big loop)din have change alot of trains so it was a pleasant rest except for the bloody hot seat!will explain more in pics:P
