Not bad at all for an evening's entertainment.   The beer tram in  
Japan --- 3600 yen at today's rate of exchange is $40.36 for  
something resembling dinner, drinks and two hours of trolley riding.
I can imagine Derrick wanting to go there to try out the beer.

I wish there was someone who could translate the Japanese characters.

Thanks Bill for forwarding.
