Journeys

After some many days in Tokyo, i'm finally leaving to go to Hakone.. seems like it's a hot springs place. Will be taking the shinkansen - bullet train - there. It'd be my first time and I'm quite excited. Hopefully, it'd be a nice trip so that i can sleep on board..

During my time away, my dad has driven my car to the multi-storey car park so that it isnt out in the sun all the time. And i heard from my mum that he'd go there once in a while to check it out to see that it's safe. Though i dont know how that works.

One thing i'll miss is the chats i have with my dad when he sends me to work. It's during this time, amidst the cursing of errant lane-changing drivers, slow drivers and women drivers, he shares his days at work and even his earlier working days. I think in the past 2 years that he has been sending me to work, we've probably talked more than in my last 28 years. It's probably odd but my dad doesnt really talk much.

So i'd miss that.

Considering the length of time of the shinkansen journey from Tokyo to Hakone... Did you sleep well? :P

My dad too! I think the longest conversations we have are in the vehicle when he sends me to work... And he doesn't even talk much during that drive either!
