you have to ride the trams in the summer and if you ever get behind 3 or 4 tourist bus loads waiting for a tram and at each stop along the way you will pray for a reservation system.i almost learned japanese waiting in line the last time. this was in may i can only imagine the problems after school is out.

Exactly why we take our yearly "big" trip once school is back in session! Thankfully we dont have to deal with those crowds

Funny story about japanese tourists, we were in california at Calico Ghost Town a few years back and we saw 3 huge tour buses pull up, and out came hundreds of Japanese tourists. We thought that this was gonna be a heck of a crowd, They scrambled to all the shops, and took pics in front of signs, etc... And then almost ran back to the buses. They were there maybe a total of 15 mins. We just sat there (10:00am with 96 degree heat) sipping our cool drinks, watching the spectacle. :h
