					<description>2005年の夏休みに青春18切符で本州の旅をした。ものすごく楽しかったが、annieさんが言ったようにもちろん時間がかかて、電車の乗り換えはときどき面倒くさいです。

だたらこそ、初めて日本に来ると「新幹線」に乗ったらいいかもしれないけど、日本の電車になれたら「青春18切符」のほうは安くて、楽しいと思う。旅途中でどこでも気に入るところで電車を降りて、観光できるから。夏の水田（すいでん）とか冬の雪山（ゆきやま）などをゆっくり見て楽しむことができる。これ、やっぱり懐かしいですね～</description>

					<description>Peterさん、
I love the local train travel too.  I'd thought about buying one of the tickets for the winter break, but opted for a snowboarding holiday instead.

Traveling for 4 months in NewZealand and Australia and a year in S.E. Asia was an amazing experience and something that far too few Americans do.  Including airfare it cost me about $7500 to travel for those 16 months  (expensive yes, but far more rewarding than paying off my student loans). I spent most of my time hiking, taking cooking classes, reading books, and learning new languages.  I love to go places that are off the beaten tourist track and make friends with the ladies at the food stalls in the market.

What sort of details are you looking for?</description>

					<description>Asahi_NYsurf-san, sugoi namae! Great name! And thanks for letting us know! The more feedback we get, the more we...well, try to respond to it.:wink: Thanks for the comment and keep them coming!

Annie-san, it's the only way to travel!:grin: We when went to Aomori, we were on a two-car train! Yep, just two cars!:shock: But I love traveling this way, as you really, really get to see Japan. As for your request, check back tomorrow.:wink: And WOW! What a trip that must have been!! Details, details, details.:grin:

Daniel-san, I can't believe we missed it.:cry:

Emil-san, have you tried google translation? If that doesn't work, it basically says: Give us 500USD and we'll send you a package on January 2nd. We're not telling you what's in the package, but it will be good. Payment by the 26th of December. Checks payable to Steve Jobs acceptable.

Bakaneko-san, MAC PRO with maxed out RAM.:wink:</description>

					<description>Emilさん、

I don't think anyone knows what's in it. They are scheduled to be delivered to those who were fortunate enough to order one on January 2nd. Then, we'll have to wait for the blogs to start reporting.

I suppose at the value they state, they must at least include some sort of iPod, or even a Mac mini.</description>

					<description>I left on September 1st and was set to come back in mid-summer.  RTW tickets often don't have high-low seasons.  Also, Canada seems to have better pricing plans, since more Canadians than Americans will make that sort of trip.  Europeans get the best-priced tickets though, since there's even higher demand there.</description>
