:-) I do try to be different...
I've never been to Japan, but it sounds like a commendable idea. KOrea seems to have some good fast trains too from what I've heard.
I did like Wales and England, but I assume a lot of Europe would be similar with the tiny narrow roads which no truck can fit on!(some don't fit cars either:-)
I fear we use trucks way too much here which not only makes roads dangerous but also stifle local produce local produce and smaller shops etc, and makes the place way easy for Maccas, Kentucky Fried, Pizza Hut and large supermarket chains to dominate.
It was easy to get fresh egss, cream etc in Wales.. no supermarkets or any of the US -style fast food chains that I could find much except on outskirts of major towns, and I never saw any trucks on the roads either, even the major highways? I was thinking maybe they only allow them at night after 9PM or something?
Contract that to the Prices hwy at Wollongong, say going down Mt Ousley in the morning..I'm sure semis outnumber cars.
Nice to hear from you,
Jan
