Ooh its Thursday today! This week has flown by FAST for me.
I got back from roadtrip of Shizuoka the day before and i had a BLAST. Though it was a mere 3 days, it was fabulous and really nice just to get away from work/city etc. ^^ I took so many pictures..i am going to have to write several blog entries [no excuses to not blog now XD]
Anyway today’s entry is going to be about rest stops/truck stops
In Japan we call them SA [Service Areas] or PA [parking areas]
SAs are usually a lot bigger than PAs. In Japan, SA/PA are a big deal. Many sell things limited to just that particular SA/PA or have famous food/restaurants there. There are books sold in Japanese bookshops about them and some ppl actually drive around just to go SA/PA and not any other destination XD!!!
Anyway i know a lot of you take the train so i thought it would be interesting to write about them today so maybe next time you will drive too ^^
This is EBINA SA!
Its one of the bigger ones close to Tokyo ^^ So if you drive out of Tokyo towards places like Atsugi [waves at Lena], Odawara, Hakone, Shizuoka..you are gonna go past it ^^
Note there are TWO Ebina SA! one going towards, one away from Tokyo. the one going away from Tokyo is the better one. The one going towards is not that great XD
