    がんばれ小傘さん 795

    自分の日頃の行いを小傘さんに投影して描いてみようという日記漫画です。

    ということで、今日からコミックトレジャー21編です。
    出だしは紅楼夢と全く同じような気がしますが、実際そうだから仕方ないです(笑)
    大阪いいよね！おいしくて安いものいっぱいで！
    荷物の量も紅楼夢ほどではないので、新幹線で行こうと思いましたが、この金額がネックでした。
    ツアーの安さにびっくりです(^^;)

    And thus, the Comic Treasure 21 story starts today. The beginning starts off just like for Kōrōmu, but that's actually how it was, so I can't help it. :-)

    Osaka sure is great! Full of tasty, inexpensive food!

    Since I didn't have as much luggage as for Kōrōmu, I figured I'd go by bullet train, but the cost was a sticking point. The cheapness of the tour surprised me. (^^;)

    Reader-added tags include "That person's bad news...don't do it!", "Lateness flag received", and "Be honest with yourself, Kogasa-san".

    The survey's making travel plans:

    Where in Osaka should we go?!
    • Dotombori
    • Tsūtenkaku
    • Nipponbashi
    • Expo Commemorative Park
    • Universal Studios Japan

    Wait, ticket only cost around 30.000 for round trip? Is it that expensive to ride on train? O_O

    Actually, on Feb 1, 2013; the exchange rate for JPY to USD is 92.75JPY to 1USD...so it's 325.19USD for a round trip ticket.

    Time for a new adventure with Kogasa-san! I wonder what fun everyone will get into on this trip? And we get to see Yamame-san again. Hopefully Ran-san and Yuyuko-sama will be there, too.

    For the poll, let's go to Nipponbashi, and get some collectibles.

    To go... 314 miles? That's not even the length of the Florida coast.
    It costs about $200 for a round-trip from Miami to NYC by conventional train. Granted, it takes a day and a half...

    Bullet Trains cost more I guess, for some reason.
    I guess it's the fact that Conventional Trains go 50-70MPH where bullet trains can hit 300mph...
    (Of course, I could be sorely mistaken, I've only rode conventional trains before [about 10 years ago], so I haven't paid attention)

    I poked around a bit out of curiosity: Tokyo-Osaka travel time via Shinkansen is a little over two and a half hours.

    Flying is quicker counting flight time alone, and can be cheaper in the off season (though not most of the time), but it's a lot less convenient. It can take quite a long time to get to the airports (plus check-in time and so on), and the schedule is much less frequent.

    Air travel you'd usually plan in advance, whereas on the major rail routes (and Tokyo-Osaka is one of the biggest), you can basically turn up and buy a ticket, and there'll be a train leaving within the next ten to twenty minutes.
