After 5,600km, both car and driver are doing well.
It is kind of hard to find internet in Siberia, but as much as possible I will try to update the blog below (MovingJapan).
The blog was not working for a few days, but we have fixed the bug now.
Sorry ...
On some good road, 良い通りもあり
And some not so good と普通の通りもあり
この通りに、こちらの車の方が良いかも

Between two spare tires (+one under the hood) is all my stuff, in one bag
２個スペアタイヤの間に旅の荷物（も一つタイヤはボンネットの下。）
(not) hiding under the rear seat is nothing illegal, just my trusted two-stroke oil 😀
後部座席の下に隠れてる （ではない）は悪いものではなく、いつも使ってる２ストーオイルですよ😁

Test drive to Toyama Fushiki ferry 富山伏木フェリーまでのテストドライブ
On the second weekend of April, I decided to drive to Toyama Fushiki ferry.
This ferry was/is my first choice to get over from Japan to Russia, and I wanted to see how hard is for the car and for me to take this trip. It was raining again, raining for the whole trip except a few hours. The roads were empty, no wind, I was able to make good time.

It was a lot of climbing, there was still snow on the side of the highway.
From home to the port of Fushiki took 7hours and 40 minutes.
If I came this far, I decided to drive around the Noto peninsula as well.
Beautiful drive would be without the rain...

Leaving for home.
On the way home, I even get a few hours without rain! Great road, very little traffic... Many many long tunnels, some over 4km.
After 12 hours, and 580km, I have arrived home.
On the two weekends I drove over 2,000km without any problem with the car (other than the rain leaking in on the way to Ise).
I was able to drive long hours, and gained trust in my little yellow baby.
Since January, I drove over 4,000km. It is time to see the damage...
The car deserves one complete checkup now, and one before the "big trip".

Family trip to Ise and Matsuzaka 伊勢、松坂の家族旅
It's early April, the Sakura is blooming everywhere. We decided to visit Ise Shrine and Matsuzaka.
We have left early for the Irago-Toba ferry. The weather couldn't be worst, half way we got typhoon like wind and rain. This was the first time since I drive my Subaru that I was worried that the wind might blow the roof away from the car... Half of the route, we couldn't drive more thank 50km/h on the highway. Poor Subaru was leaking everywhere.
This was our driving record until the ferry port.

This was our driving record until the ferry port.
The ferry was only 55 minutes, but it wasn't an easy ride. High waves and rain during the whole trip.
Next morning, we have visited the famous Ise Jingu. I wish that we would have more time, the 125 shrine deserve more time...
After Ise Jingu we drove to Matsuzaka.
The Sakura is incredible everywhere.
We have spent the second night at the Taiya Ryokan. Great food and very friendly staff was making our stay unforgettable. I am not keen having Japanese breakfast (just can't have fish, not to mention natto) They have prepared continental breakfast for me! Something that is hard to get at Japanese ryokans...
On our third day we were heading home. Nice drive until we hit the usual 30km traffic jam on the highway from Oi-Matsuda, 70km from home. We made a pretty good average until that.
The last 70km took us 2 hours and 20 minutes...

GPS test ナビテスト Garmin 205W, Sony NV-U 35, Panasonic CN-MP50D
Today we have tested three GPS on accuracy, and response.
Garmin 205W,
Sony NV-U 35,
Panasonic CN-MP50D
It was interesting to see that the three GPS were choosing different routes although we put the same goal at the same time for all three.
All three were following the car movement correctly, only that the Panasonic was a little slower re-routing after we diverted from the suggested route.
My favorite is the Garmin, except for one thing that I missed in.
The three choices for road types are not enough. Toll road; Local road or the shortest distance are the options one has to choose from.
I wish it would have another option where local and toll roads are mixed.
It records distance, maximum, average speed that is great help with an old car like my Subaru.
The Sony NV-U 35 has many good options but the screen is the smallest (4,3") and it was the least reliable at choosing the best route. ( We have tested them on a route we know well)
The Panasonic futures digital TV tuner and has the largest screen among the three.
It has the slowest response, and it can not record distance, speed etc...
今日３台のナビをテストしました。
ガーミン nuvi 205W;
ソニナブ・ユー NV-U 35;
パナソニック ストラーダ CN-MP50D
三台のナビを同じにセットして、レスポンスや正確さなど見ながらスバルを走らせた。

車の動きを３台とも確実にフォローしてが、パナソニクのリルートのレスポンスは少し遅かった。
私の気に入りはガーミンです。たりない所一つだけ と思いましたら、今取り説見たら日本語版と英語版は異なるみたいです。日本語では時間優先、距離優先、と直行になってます。
ガーミンは日本語と英語切り替え出来ますので、今まで英語で使いましたが、今度日本語でも使ってみます。
ソニーで色んな設定は可能ですが、画面は小さくて見にくいと思ってます。
パナソニック、ストラーダの画面は５V型ワイドモニターで、ー番大きくて、ワンセグも楽しめますが、距離、スピードなどの記録見れません。３台の内レスポンスは一番遅かったです。
