Houston to Japan: A Road Trip for the Ages (or Not)
So, you're thinking of driving from Houston to Japan? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because you're in for a real adventure. Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of this totally feasible, totally practical plan.
The Short Answer: It's a Bit Far
Just to manage expectations, let's get this out of the way: Japan is not exactly a stone's throw from Houston. In fact, it's about as far as you can get without leaving the planet. So, unless you've invented a car that can drive on water (and maybe fly a little), you might want to reconsider your mode of transportation.
Let's Crunch Some Numbers (Just for Fun)
If we were to ignore the pesky little detail of the Pacific Ocean, the distance between Houston and Japan is roughly 6,600 miles. Assuming you could maintain a steady 60mph, that's about 110 hours of driving. Which, let's be honest, is enough time to binge-watch every season of Friends about 12 times.
What About That Ocean Thing?
Ah, yes, the ocean. That small, insignificant body of water that happens to be between Houston and Japan. It's a bit of a roadblock, don't you think? You could try building a bridge, but that might take a while. Or, you could invest in a submarine with wheels. Either way, it's going to be a costly endeavor.
Alternative Transportation Options
If driving isn't your thing, there are always other ways to get to Japan. You could fly, take a boat, or even hitch a ride on a whale (not recommended). Flying is probably your best bet. It's faster, more comfortable, and you don't have to worry about running out of gas in the middle of the ocean.
