Ohayo gozaimasu! We received our car yesterday evening and are now somewhat independent! Here are a few pictures of it:
It is a powerful 660 cc so going up hills with two Americans in it should be fun! We may have to ask our visitors to meet us at the tops of hills. We are off to the fishing store and to explore a bit of the island for the first time without translators! We'll buy a map first, not that we will be able to read it, but the pictures should help a bit.
On a side note...new drivers and people over 60 have to put special stickers on their cars as a warning to other cars on the road. Military yankees have to get special license plates with a "Y" on them, too. Unfortunately for Japan, we are not required to have any signs that we are Gaijin. Look out, here we come!
I love that car :)
