My Solo Japan Roadtrip

There are two very important things happening for me today. One, I'm going back to university. Not the university in Hong Kong, but the one that I went for exchange in Japan. And two, I get to drive this monstrosity of an animal. Now I have to thank NRT Rent-A-Car for providing this red beast. It's because yesterday I helped them film a track day event. It was absolutely amazing. It was one of the best experiences I've had in Japan. That's why I get to use this car for a week as a return, completely for free. Absolute madness. Now I'm currently next to Narita Airport and according to Google, I am 600 kilometers away from my destination. And I want to make it there by tonight. And according to Google Maps, because it's freakingly accurate these days, it said it will take me around seven or six and a half hours, depending on my driving style. That means for today, I'm going to be driving for seven hours straight alone in Japan. I think this is what heaven feels like. So let's go, shall we? Sit rep. I have an erection. According to satellite navigation, we are about 370 kilometers away from our destination and we are not stopping for anything. We're stopping. It's been two hours since I've started driving. We're making very good progress. We're about halfway there. But even if the car can make it, my bladder cannot. So I'm currently at a service area on the motorway. Now if you're driving long distance in Japan, they have a lot of this service areas on motorways. Now the good thing about these service areas is that these aren't places that sells you overpriced crisps. They actually have a decent restaurant, a souvenir shop, and the cleanest toilet you can ever find. So according to Google Maps, I'm about here and I have to go all the way up here. So we're about halfway there. We covered, we actually covered that much in just two hours. So making good progress. It could be my exuberant driving, but making very good progress. Another situation update. We are about 180 kilometers away, but my fuel range has dropped to 160 kilometers left. It could be because of my exuberant driving, but I do not want to go to jail. So now we have two options. Do I drive slower and increase the range, or do I drive faster and fuel up? Yeah, that one. So according to Google, this is the cheapest fuel stop in the area and turns out to be true, it's only 167 yen per liter of high octane fuel, which I am very happy. Mum will be very proud. Okay, last fuel stop done. Time for the final stretch. I think I forgot to explain why I'm going back to my exchange university. No particular reason, but I have a few friends that I want to visit and they just happen to be on campus. Also I have this very sick car, which I can use. So I thought, why not drop by and say hi. If you want to talk, let's talk about it. Walk, but not without me. Stop, can't live without it. I said, well, I think I'm going crazy, cause I still want you lately. Don't feel like moving on, even though you up and gone, you know I'm broken. Sittin' wishin', hopin'. Now that is one familiar sight. We could have it all. Now that I'm here, I need to find Kevin's room, which I have no idea where it is. I feel so weird to be back. I feel like I'm trespassing or something. Holy shit. Meng! Where the f*** are you, Meng? Oh, he's not here. Yeah, this is Meng's room, alright. Now what we do is we wait. We wait for him to arrive. Yo, what's up, bro? Oh, f*** you! Oh, shit! Oh, f***! Oh, f***, you scared me! Holy shit! Yo, what's up, man? What's up, what's up, what's up? Long time, man, long time. Holy shit!
