Tokyo to Narita Commute
 

This one goes out to all the UAL wide-body pilots who have downtown Tokyo layovers. I've heard that a typical 5-6 day NRT trip includes about 8 hours in a cab between Nartia and Tokyo - good times!

Neat video. Wouldn't taking the Narita Express (NEX) train be considerably faster and cheaper than taking a cab? Must be rolling in the green stuff to be taking a cab in Japan!

It seems to me that you could equally do one for those guys who fly into JFK and have accommodation in Manhatten - except you would have to shake the camera more for all the potholes in the road surfaces and there would be a lot more photos of stationary traffic:(

... and yes, I'm sure you can argue similar for the journey into the West End of London:rolleyes:, albeit without so many potholes

Cool video. Seems that cabby was pretty efficient too.

Odd question...is the "fast lane" in Japan the right lane?

Yes - they drive on the correct side of the road there, as we do in the UK:p

It's amazing how everyone but Americans have mastered the idea of "GTFO of the fast lane if you're not passing anybody."

Out of about 40 countries I have been to, America is not even the worse. So far, Germany and Japan are the only 2 that I have been to where people do not routinely hog the wrong lane up.

just a tangent but this is somewhat related......






atleast he got the extra guy

Interesting bar/wedding singer take on the soundtrack.
