Japan's services appear to be a cross between a kombini and a street market (and a coach stop). There are a healthy collection vending machines too of course. On a better day this one has a great view of Fuji ... on a better day ...

Kyoto Roadtrip
Team Reynolds is off on a road trip, Kyoto bound. Six (6) hours away; the very reason why man worked out how to put a TV in a car surely.
Our ridiculously capacious 'car' made the normally vehicle stuffing load look rather underwhelming in the corner of the boot. Surely we have forgotten something. Probably many things. The car is brimmed (re-gyu-raa, mantan onegaishimasu) - yeah, we failed to tackle the self-service petrol station last night, quite a shocking failure of something quite ordinary. Still, full service petrol stations ARE brilliant we think :)
It's raining, I hear the rustle of snacks and I'm very excited to see snow monkeys this week. I suspect there will be the odd temple too ...
