A Road Trip was held and was a great success; see PlanN

Plan N+1

Location

• Japan?
  • It is probable that I (Smith) can provide a bilingual guide and possibly limited accomodation in Osaka
    • I would furthermore suggest that we do perhaps two major places (say Osaka and Tokyo) with a simple and painless transition between them
      • Not necessarily convinced - I rather liked the flying visit approach of the previous trip - but in practice I guess there're not so many places in Japan. I would want to see Kyoto at least, but that's a perfectly reasonable excursion from Osaka. --Lmm
• The Trans-Siberian Railway has been proposed with varying levels of seriousness
  • I meant it entirely seriously, but thought it would be best combined with the above (especially since I expect few people other than me to be interested) --Lmm
    • Apparently it is not as time-consuming as I (Smith) thought
• Soviet Central Asia, China and Mongolia are also interesting places if we wish to go somewhere exotic
• Could do a road trip 2.0 to Istanbul now that we know about Kompas car rental; a Croatia/Serbia/Romania/Bulgaria/Turkey/Greece/Macedona/Albania/Kosovo/Bosnia route would actually have very little overlap with the previous effort
• Israel, Palestine and perhaps some neighbouring countries would be interesting, but I (Smith - who else, ololol) expect the Kosovo Passport Issue returns with a vengeance if we do this

Dates

• A year after the previous one?
  • Good for purposes of holiday allowance
• At Comiket time?

Things to bear in mind

• There is a significant danger that this will become hilariously expensive
