I guess I should rephrase that:  It's not that I'm "not a foodie", it's just that I hate eating.  Smile  There's so much else I'd rather be doing... like riding more trains!

Here are a couple of shots from my visit to the Yamanashi Maglev Test Centre.

I climbed partway up a nearby mountain/hill for this vantage point; watching the test runs from up here was great:

   

I also enjoyed seeing all the specialized maintenance vehicles.  They must put a lot of mileage on these; even though the test train ("L0") takes just a few minutes to run the whole 42 km line, it would take this truck at least an hour to get to the other end!
