Zekkyou Tuaa

It's summer again here in japan...and it's freakin HOT!!!!
It's not as hot as in malaysia but it's still freakin HOT!!!!
So what most japanese people usually do during summer when it's weekend with a beautiful sunny weather(and freakin HOT)?....and the answer is they will try to clog every single roads,expressways and interstate highways with their cars.These casual drivers will only use the weekends for their recreation activity so called doraibinngu*.Say you have countless of these drivers driving their car for recreation....just imagine how many roadhogs you can get.

And so was I...I went to Fuji-Q Highland last saturday with Naoya and Satomi for our 1st zekkyou tuaa** of this year according to Naoya.
Fuji-Q Highland is located in Yamanashi Prefecture(not Shizouka) which is about 200km from Tokyo.The best way to get there is but car which will take about 3 hours(min) from Tokyo via the Tomei Expressway.Although i'm kinda person who enjoy having adrenaline being pumped all accoss my body and always thrilled by the extremes,due to the distance from where i live,It was still my second time for me to go there.


Naoya,me and Satomi...normal look

One of the coolest attractions which is a must for every visitor to Fuji-Q is Fujiyama.Although Fujiyama is not the longest,fastest nor the scariest roller coaster in the world,it's the nearest i could get.Check-out the record holders.The specs of Fujiyama is below:


sorry,no english translation.well,you can still agak2 what the data means.



I wonder who's crazy idea inventing this thing on the first place.


Naoya,me and Satomi...not so normal look

Overall...Yeah...we had a great time...

*Doraibinngu=recreation activity of driving an automobile.
(Related)Info on Japanese Culture:Since tokyo has one of the best network of public transport(especially trains and subways) in the world,many japanese people tend to use the public transport to work and traveling to one place to another.Due to the convienience of the public transport,having a personal automobile is virtually unnecessary moreover with it's expensive road tax,insurance and maintenance fee,it's also considered as a luxury.According to Goldman Sach Economic Research data,the number of automobile per-family(average of 4 people per family) in tokyo is 0.54 which is the lowest in japan and one of the lowest among the developed countries.For people who can afford an automobile,driving is no longer considered as a way to move from one place to another,it is more recognized as a recreation activity
**Zekkyou tuaa=thrilling and scary tour
