"Those" vending machines do exist... I lived in Seoul and Tokyo for several years (preferring the former to the latter) and yep there are some unusal purchases that could be made (so I am told ... :blush: ).

Right time of year to be there, cherry blossom season, I spend a fair bit of time in Tokyo

 

missus is from there, Zed's are rare there as well, see a few 370Z, reason you don't see 350Z

 

is there is some law about owning or using old cars, cannot remember the details.

 

Great City, Pop into the The Racers Cafe. :thumbs:

The Japanese equivalent of the MOT is very strict, so most people will just buy a new car, also its considered bad luck to buy/own a used car, you inherit the last owners bad luck.

Lol I bet that's perpetuated by the car manufacturers, a bit like how de beers has made it unacceptable to trade used diamond jewellery etc. Keeps the market for new products strong.

Hope you're enjoying it man! I've always wanted to go but my missus doesn't share my enthusiasm.....

 

Tell your missus she doesn't know what shes missing.. Tokyo is a wonderful city. :thumbs:

My missus is a queer breed! I think I just like a challenge as I'm sure there are easier lives to be had out there.....

 

No real problem finding your way around as all the signs are both in Japanese and an English Translation

 

Subway is very easy, lot easier than the London Tube and 500% safer, there is virtually no crime in Tokyo. :thumbs:
