Great. Every time for summer holiday break, obon period, there is a typhoon coming. 🌀 😮💨
I'm taking the Shinkansen to Nagoya tomorrow, and going back to Tokyo this Sunday.

I hope it will not be cancelled or delayed. 😕

That being said I'm going on a road trip in Mie prefecture. Any recommendations?

I am taking the Shinkansen from Shinyokohama to Nagoya, free seat, so of course I'm standing, all seats taken during the holidays period.

For the return trip I have a reserved seat. Standing 1h is 😮💨

Arrived at Nagoya. Now getting the Leaf.

Got the Leaf, let's go!

Rapidas but not rapidas. (40kW).

Ise shrine.

Yokoyama Observatory Deck in Ise Shima.

Slept in a guesthouse at a mountain village. Refreshing!

@codewiz The 1F of my manshion is a co working space. Want to buy them? 😂

Tomorrow I am renting a bicycle and bicycling ~50km. Wish me luck. :blobsweat:

@codewiz "how to properly cook rice after spending 3 years in Japan..."

You did not have a rice cooker?

Open rice cooker,
Set the amount of rice you want
(Eventually rinse the rice if not already pre-washed)
Set the appropriate water level (there are marks in the pot, for white rice, etc).
Push the button, wait, done.

(Eventually select the kind of cooking you want, softer, harder rice, etc).

@codewiz Cats make people dumb?

@codewiz aplay? People still use alsa tools? :D

@codewiz I don't have alsa-utils on my machine but I have sox, so I can use:

./a | play -t raw -r 16k -e signed -b 16 -c 1 -

Imported cheese from France is ridiculously expensive.

@codewiz that's mostly for all the FAANG in Japan.

@codewiz I don't have the information but Rakuten pay peanuts.
