JAPAN, Tokyo - Moving on

Before we headed to Osaka

we grabbed some lunch at the market

in the busiest train station in the world.

We ate yakitori and rice.

For dessert I enjoyed this CUTE little cake

filled with pudding and anko (sweet red beans).

Each cake was hand-stamped with kanji

that reads TOKYO.

We rode the bullet train to Osaka.

Tokyo is the end and the beginning of

the train line.  The trains undergo a

15 minute cleaning at this point.

These ladies dressed in pink stand waiting,

with cleaning supplies in hand,

for the train to arrive.

Here it comes.

The train - on the inside.

The view from the train - at 170 miles per hour!

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!
