Yes, yes, in August 2004. Very hot and humid. Took train from Shin-osaka, went north, along Sea of Japan to Kanazawa. Return to Tokyo via Nagano. One stretch I took local train in paddy-fields, full of schoolkids. Very nice!

Old samurai houses in Kanazawa.

I still prefer Fukui more.....due to food

I took Thunderbird from Shinosaka to Kanazawa, and from Kanazawa to Nagano, various trains, can't remember. But I remember the Japan Sea route was very scenic.

This is true. For places with no trains, find out when the train/bus connections are.

See our Hokkaido train trips here:

On ground I am maintenance engineer....on flight I am flight engineer.

Small Jet from Malaysia flight to Japan directly....Boss insists one engineer must follow to monitor the aircraft condition.

OIC, they need you to sign off too, before flying, right?

The term 'flight engineer' is normally used for the 3rd (non-pilot) flight deck crew in the older jets like A300, B727, DC10.

Nop, but it looks promising.

Good movie, watched it on plane early this year. Ken lost his wife and drove alone from Toyama to a small harbour in Kyushu to deliver her ashes -- scenic and interesting journey.
