“F1 teams began testing after a brief break in action since the season ended on October 22nd. All cars ran at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya on hard-compound Bridgestone tires, and it appears that Ferrari might have a handy advantage over its opposition as it begins preparations for 2007. “ (from Autoweek.com) Tune into the Speed Channel for the 2007 season to see who will win. I am planning to be at the Suzuka circuit for my first F1 experience in Japan. It should be pretty different compared to F1 races at Indianapolis that I have attended. Those were good times with my little brother.

 

My brother came to Japan

I got to hang out with my brother on Friday and Saturday. He stayed in Yokohama to visit us before he had to head to Nagoya for his business trip. We met up at the Landmark Tower after work on Friday and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Good times. Then on Saturday he stopped by our mansion and we had some Moss Burger for lunch and headed to Tokyo. Unfortunately it rained most of the day. We went to the Senso-ji temple in Asakusa and then we took the Ginza subway line to Shibuya to check out the world’s busiest intersection with the “scramble crossing” near the Hachiko exit. With the rain, it wasn’t very busy for a Saturday afternoon.

Useless fact – Shibuya station is Tokyo’s third-busiest station with 2.4 million people passing through every day. Shinjuku & Ikebukoro station are the busiest. Check out Wikipedia for more info about Shibuya or anything else you want to know.
