Setting off for Morioka in Style.

I got up super super early today!
Today went on the Shikansen! ( The Japanese Bullet Train ).
At first, the speed of the train didn’t really impress me, as my friends have been raving about. But, as we started to enter the outskirts of Tokyo, the train speed up to full speed.
I didn’t really come to realized how fast I was going, till I tried to take a picture.
That’s when I realized that the only things that weren’t blurry were considerably further away… I traveled 500+ km in only a few hours including stops.
As I traveled north, the weather changed a number of times including going thru 2 different snow storms…. Not sure how it worked but it was interesting none the less.

Hideo’s wife, Hiromi, was very nice at gave me some rice balls for my lunch on the train.
(Thanks Hiromi!! - It was very tasty!! )

As I stepped off the Shikansen, everything was different. The weather was biting cold and the station seemed fairly small with only a hand full of people.

Gladly I was meet by a teacher from Morioka College. Sannohei Sensei.

Where am I?

<-- Thats my Train!!!! Sexy An'it?
