On the way to Aomori / 青森行き

Here is my sister at Tokyo Station. She couldn't believe Ichiro is in a commercial ad. Apparently he doesn't give interviews to the American media and does not do any commercials in the U.S.

妹がイチローの告知を見たらびっくりした。アメリカでCMとか取材はいっさい拒否してると妹が言ってた。だから日本でこうゆう告知があるのがびっくりみたい。


We are now waiting the doors to open on our train. This is the Hayate which will take us to Aomori.

Just a few more minutes of waiting / あとちょっとで出発


One of the pleasures of riding the shinkansen is eating eki-ben (station bentos). Today I treated myself to a "30 item balanced bento".

新幹線に乗って一つの楽しみは駅弁ですね。今日選んだのは「30品目バランス弁当」。




Lets see - the bento includes chicken, squash, rice, paprika, carrots, and a bunch of other healthy stuff!
