When Stephanie and Pottie took the bullet train from Tokyo to Nagano to see the monkeys, it looks like they paid almost twice the normal fare for the one hour 22 minute trip on the bullet train in order for both of them to be pampered in the first class accommodations on the train. A reserved seat on this trip is usually ¥11,840 what is $77.49. The gran first class carriage was ¥20,960 per person which is $137.01 per person. You know they rode first class on the way back to Tokyo also. The fare for the Japan gruesome twosome was $279 versus $154 for the two of them to receive first class treatment for one hour 22 minutes train ride ( that is why they were the only two people in the carriage). Stephanie tried to say that they thought they would indulge himself for this one trip. Bullshit.

You know that she also business or flew first class on the majority of her trip to and from Japan. She had a very pricey vacation with her first class travel, four and five star hotels and restaurants, and shopping hidden away from the view at the little pink camera. Her trip ended of course with the there day poor little me, little orphan princess in Japan and China and at the train station in a very inexpensive dress, greasy dirty hair, eating macha kit kats in a highly staged scene on the train platform, before faking a broken down car, and negligently hoisting a car, sick Ratso above her head and spinning in circles in the dump kitchen, while singing, I’ve had The Time of my life. Vintage Stephanie, Jar is, lying, deceiving and grifting, every day all day.

Info on the train:

The Kagayaki is the fastest train category along the Hokuriku Shinkansen, operating only in the mornings, late afternoons and evenings. While some
operate all the way between Tokyo and Tsuruga, others operate only between Tokyo and Kanazawa. The Kagayaki stops only at major stations and features twelve cars, one of which is Gran Class, the first class service by JR. The Kagayaki is one of the few shinkansen trains without non-reserved seating. A seat reservation is mandatory. When all seats are booked out, standing tickets can be purchased.

Gran Class is a new ultra-luxury service, it is clearly first class. With only 18 seats per car, there’s plenty of room to relax and recline.
Luxury Gran Class cars at the front of these trains feature 18 spacious, automated, reclining leather seats, each with a footrest and reading lamp. On the Kagayaki service, dedicated Gran-Class attendants are also on hand to serve light meals and drinks and to provide complimentary items.

This carriage is followed by the Green Car, featuring paired reclining seats either side of a central aisle. In standard class, every seat on each train is fitted with its own power socket. Alternate carriages feature washlet-style toilets with heated seats, and the train is also equipped with two wheelchair-friendly restrooms.

Nagano Station

Nagano City’s most popular attraction is Zenkoji Temple, known for its gigantic Sanmon and Niomon gates. Nagano is better known though as a jumping off point for the Japan Alps, and the popular ski resorts of Hakuba, Shiga Kogen and Nozawa Onsen (also known for its hot springs). Other nearby attractions include the town of Obuse, the former home of famed ukiyo-e painter Katsushika Hokusai, and the snow monkeys of the hot spring town Yudanaka.

Take a look at the info on the gran train carriage



Watch the video below to see the gleeful, smug, grifting, deceitful Japanese gruesome twosome enjoy their first class journey, service, and first class meals. Stephanie complained about having to get up at 5:30 in the morning in order to continue her trip to go see the monkeys while on her 6th or 7th free luxury vacation of the year.Two grifters on a train. Priceless.
 
I agree with others that the dinner prepared by Marie was the best looking dishes she has put out so far. She also appeared more confident. The only thing that marred the dinner was the pompous ass parading around with a carafe of rose.

I hate that ugly suit. What a fool! 🤡

What ring(s) of Stephanie's is Philip wearing on his left hand now? It looks like it might be a couple of bands vs. just one wide one, or maybe it's a cigar band style. I couldn't get a good look at them on the blog.

Also agree with everyone that the dinner was a little better looking.

It's not new, though- Gran Class has been around for a minute. While the Green Car is perfectly comfortable and acceptable, Gran Class is far superior in comfort (the seats are amazing- they are full recliners!), the loos are far nicer, they provide small meals and snacks, you are offered a hot towel and a beverage as soon as you sit down, and even provide slippers! When I had to travel via train for a work trip, our travel agent would book me Gran Class tickets (and one of our drivers would drop me off at the train station and pick me up upon my return- I always brought back gifts for her and the drivers.) When I traveled for fun, if it was a short trip, I was fine with the regular trains. If it was a long trip, always Gran Class on the Shinkansen (unless it was a rare one that did not have it- then, Green Class, with a stop first at 7-11 or Lawson's for snacks and drinks!)
 
The mint is from the garden don’t you know. The only thing that is in that meal (oh silly me I forgot the radishes). Where are all the other vegetables and salads that should be available by now? What exactly are the 3 gardeners growing, not veg and no flowers, all of these are still being bought in. Rose in a decanter duck off.

As much as Kylie Flavell annoys me, the food on her latest vlog actually looked lovely (sorry @Spirit of place !) Wine was served from the bottles (good local wines), veg from the garden, and using what is in season for desserts (a lot of strawberries, pears, oranges from the fruit truck, etc.) Granted, the climate in Tuscany is diverso than the Shitoo, but seriously- there is plenty growing in the greenhouse right now, so what gives?

I have more available produce right now at the beginning of the growing season in my tiny back garden pots than the entire vast chateau beds and green house! How absurd!

I wish Marie would punch Fanny in her big, fat, loud mouth....poison Snorts....dump him at his wanna be Sugar Daddy/grandpa John's, and be done with those users.

Now that’s a show I’d pay for!
Take my money 💰
 
Fanny wishes she hadn't shown restraint and purchased more than one India-made (emphasis on India) tablecloth. Drip, drip, drip.....setting up her trip to India.
ps. - I just want to slap that smug, trumped-up, twit of a nobody.
pss - after dinner, if it's pissing down cats and dogs, do the guests walk outside across the courtyard holding umbrellas or are they led through the construction zone wearing hard hats to get to the Winter Salon?

🧵 nom- - “I just want to slap Phiphi- that smug, trumped-up, twit of a nobody.” 😂

My first thread nomination- did I do it correctly?
 
Are our Florida Tattlers on MichealPotts Formula1watch? They should look for the poser clicking away with the lens cap still on:ROFLMAO:

It is funny, as while F1 is a big deal (to those outside of Florida), I'd say those into fast racing cars (locals) are more into Nascar. But this is a good public service reminder to stay away from Miami during that time! I'll mark myself SAFE from any Hugh Grunt spottings, as I live three hours away! :ROFLMAO: (@Jules100 lives closer- girl, have your phone charged in the event you see this abysmal creature lurking at your local Publix!)
 
My cold black T Rex heart grew two sizes today after FRK explained the dessert, Fanny dismissively said, "Thank you" as in "You may go now", and this lovely gangster granny not only rubbed Marie's arm, but wanted to shake her hand. I will give FRK credit- she does try incredibly hard, so it was nice that someone genuinely acknowledged her.

It's kind of sad when you think about it- after dinner, FRK and Dishpan Dave had to do the washing up, and then FRK had to set the table for the guest brekkie after making coffee and tea for the guests. I certainly HOPE Frugal Fanny is paying FRK a living wage, but we all know this is probably NOT the case. Stockholm Syndrome much?

I am not a fan of FRK but my god she is working like a skivvy !
So I do hope Dave and her are being given a bloody $$good wage ....... if Not you two- bloody leave and let Fancy Boy and Fanny do all the work for the B&B etc!
My god those two are just sooooo Lazy!

I am so excited about the work on the chapel so far. I have purchased 2 stars . One is for my daughter ,in memory of her father who's nickname was Henry. I hope that we can visit someday so she can see her star. The food that Marie prepares is so excellent and Philip sure knows how to set a beautiful table. Thanks again Stephanie for another wonderful peek into your life!!

In scenes like the opener--in this case, with John and Philip walking the dogs on a vast corridor of lawn--I begin to wonder if you and Philip are George Sand and Chopin... Scene Deux, or Trois

The footage of Philip and John walking with the three dogs is hysterical because Lancelot is barely more than a speck in the distance next to the two big dogs.

Dave washes up. Philip helps serve and clear. Marie does final clear up at the table. Philip helps with some wash up. Marie also does the flowers, putting them out and moving them. Amaury and Natti go home and don't help at the table anymore

Salute to Marie, do the cooking and after a meal she has to prepare the table for the next meal. I think she need somebody to help her. Dave has to do the washing of so many plates. Somebody is just so lucky.

I think they will also have to have sponsors for every "fleur-de-lys" in the chapel too if they are going to cover the undoubtedly enormous cost. Its already over run the quoted budget
