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.

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.

So we have a Skyline R34 GTS-T with 350Z wheels and an ER34 Skyline Sedan. Any photos of cool cars from Japan?

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.
