On Friday Nov. 18th we boarded the Shinkansen or bullet train for Nagoya to visit Amber and Rebecca. We were also going to visit friends of hers and it is customary in Japan to always bring a gift. We bought Tokyo Banana to take with us which is a famous desert from that city.









The Shinkansen is very comfortable with lots of legroom. It travels over 180 km/hr and is an extremely smooth ride as they have welded all the joins in the track. It took less than 2 hour, a normal train would take 6-7 hours. Of course we had to pay for that fast ride but it was worth it.
