VVVF音で気づいたのですが、これは300系ではないでしょう­か？

Last September when I was there, a 2 week JR pass was $600. This covers JR trains, but you will most likely need to pay a bit more riding Tokyo subway lines. May sound like a lot, but the JR pass saves you heaps if your travelling out of Tokyo & it is also only available to Gaigine visiting the country. My wife is a citizen, but is still able to get one, coz she's an Australian permanent resident. She always buys one for the duration of her visit home, it saves you heaps.

how much did the ticket cost cause i really can't read what it says.

[ChemistInJapan]

Right below "HIKARI" there is a line that says "¥***". It was SO EXPENSIVE!! that they couldn't even print the price in the space provided.

Or, option 2, I got this ticket with my JR Rail Pass, which means there was no cost (other than the Rail Pass, of course).

I actually don't know what a ticket on Hikari service costs. The last time I bought a ticket it was Nozomi, Green Car, Shin-Osaka to Tokyo was about ¥18,900, or just a shade under $200.

日本=先进国

[ChemistInJapan]

中国語ですね。んまぁ、確かに日本は先進的な国ですね。

でも、「日本＝先進国」ということを示すだけか、それとも他に深­い意味がありますか。

Sorry...私はある初心者in 日本语。。翻訳して下さい what you wrote??Thank you

[ChemistInJapan]

Sorry!

In your comment you basically just said (in Chinese), Japan = Developed Country. I then asked if you were just pointing that out or if there was something else you were trying to say. I wasn't sure.

[Kaiserks3338]

Ah~Nothing much really,just wanted to say what average Malaysians think Japan as...of course a highly developed country...full of wonders : ).I envy you guys that have the chance to study in Japan or have a family there just like Jonathan...i don't mind Japanese calling me gaijin in school...haha

[ChemistInJapan]

It never got to me either. If you want to study in Japan, there's lots of opportunities available.

jesus christ :| and how much would a JR Rail Pass cost? Also is there requirements to get it? Gaijin Card ect.

[reynoldsair]

I'm surprised that you didn't post this one on your other channel.

Alright, I've got a question for you. What do the symbols on the left sleeve of the untenshu signify? I always see a feather but I saw 2 dots on the guy at Shin Yokohama. 5:09

[ChemistInJapan]

That's a good question. I have not seen them upclose before.

[ChemistInJapan]

Oh, by the way, did your son like the video?

[reynoldsair]

He hasn't seen it, yet. He just left for yochien. Oh, there's an idea for a video - JR corporate structure, or comparing different train operators like JR and Hankyu or Keihan and Kintetsu.

[ChemistInJapan]

That seems like a project that would be easier if I were in Japan. Maybe I'll keep the idea around until that time.

[ChemistInJapan]

I have your answer from a source that I think is reliable. The holes you see are for if/when he need to wear one of those pin on arm bands. I'm sure you've seen them.
