Ashikaga/Tokyo

[Buddyworm]

I envy you man. Take loads of pictures and post 'em up! There's a possibility that I might be able to do something like that but it's still up in the air. The school board has been really tight-arsed about international flights since 9/11

I'll take plenty. Since ashikaga is in a valley, there should be some nice roads around...:-D

[DizyDrifter]

lucky you!

::bump:: any more info?

[swifty949]

if you dont speak any japanese, your going to have a hard time. The train stations and freeway signs do have English though
Luckily my wife reads and writes chinese, and a lot of the kanji characters are the same or close enough for you to understand. It helped a lot when we went for 3 weeks.

[DizyDrifter]

I speak decent japanese, and can read both kanas. Plus some kanji. so i'll be good in that department

What do they do at Daikoku Futa? Drift practice?

I've been to Tatsumi Parking on C1 Inner (lots of racers, no drifting since it's small) and a parking lot on the Wangan Route (Don't know if it has a name), also full of racers...

I'm going again tonight for the first time in quite a while... ehehehe...

[markeese180sx]

the daikoku is a chill place..when i go people just sit back, relax, and look at each others rides..its a place to meet up and later on in the night we all just drive away and have fun

[driftersil80]

On base is where im staying. Ill be there for three weeks. From the 13th to the 30th.
