My parents had a trip booked to come here for a visit in April and my dad (who is a huge train fan) was going to finally take a trip on the bullet train. Needless to say the trip was cancelled and unfortunately my father's health isn't very good and he is unlikely to be able to make the trip next year (or whenever this is over), so it looks like he lost his only chance to ever take a ride on it, which sucks. <br /><br />So while you've got the chance, take it! Its a lot of fun (not just for the bullet train, there is a lot of great stuff to do in Japan!)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-69101701953602899012020-05-19T06:49:00.579-07:002020-05-19T06:49:00.579-07:00That Bullet Train card is fantastic!

One day last June I took the Shinkansen from Fukuoka to Nagoya (roughly 460 miles) in just under four hours - including an 18 minute stop in Kobe.NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-23992787243495902092020-05-18T21:42:41.833-07:002020-05-18T21:42:41.833-07:00 Bullet trains!!

Heck, I watched the first half of Game 3 of the Orioles/Reds 1970 World Series today. The Reds lost that series (and that game) and yet I still watched a good chunk of it, that's how desperate I'm getting for baseball to return. At least we have our cards though!Nachos Grandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911007368272468591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-29717471110916870282020-05-18T09:33:30.449-07:002020-05-18T09:33:30.449-07:00Sweet Shinkansen card!
