Japan is actually really clean. The people there do not litter & don't have alot of graffiti on the buildings. Don't get me wrong....there is graffiti & trash.....but very, very minimal compared to the US.

If I could speak Japanese...I would live there in a heart beat.

Yeah, when I was there last summer I learned they recycle religiously. I was eating at Mos Burger, some franchise burger joint around Japan and I was going to throw away my drink. They have separate holes for the trash can: a hole to pour the ice and drink out, another hole for the paper cup, and one more for the plastic lid and straw. They have that almost everywhere even the Starbucks.

Japan is awesome, even though I'm Korean.... If you have time and money to spend, hop on a plane for 12+ hours and go to a new world.

And yeah ^^, that pic of the black car is an M. In Japan they also have the 2.5 liter Fuga.

I'll upload more pictures when I get back but I'd thought today's events warranted an update.

My friends and I visited Fuji International Speedway today. Took about 2 hours from Tokyo via train + taxi. We were lucky enough to see Formula 3 cars do a few laps, watch a R35 Spec V barrel down the east entrance, and get up close and personal with the a Formula 3 car and pitcrew.

Additionally, if anybody gets a chance to go, make sure you do the go-karting on the lower parking lot located on the east entrance. The course is of fuji but scaled down a lot. My best time was 39.381 for anybody that has already been there.
