China

Look forward to an absolute TON of photos from parts of Japan and China soon. I'll try not to go as picture happy as I did with Kyoto. Here's a teaser pic from West Lake in Hangzhou...


Ochanomizu Station

I thought I'd share a couple photos of one of the cooler-looking train stations in Tokyo; Ochanomizu Station.

















Here's the orange-coloured Chuo-line train, with the skycrapers of Iidabashi in the background.



















Here's a shot of the station itself.



BTW, some people might be wondering why I haven't posted in a while, or talked about my girlfriend (6 months now...) or even mentioned where I work. Well, I just don't feel the need; especially regarding where I work. I teach English in Tokyo, but beyond that I just won't say. There are enough people around who read blogs on the net that I'd rather not get caught saying something critical about who I work with/for... at least until after I have new people I work with or for. My family and friend all know where I am, or would if they asked. ;) As for not posting much... well, I'm just lazy. I've seen so many temples, shrines, trees, Asian people picking their noses, etc., in the past two plus years that I just don't feel like taking pictures of and talking about them all. I might get into the habit of updating often again, and I hope I do, but we'll just have to wait and see how energetic I get about it. I will post picture and talk about where I go on my travels, as that's always interesting to someone (probably me in 10 years time).

Cheers, and happy reading/picture viewing!

KFC: Shaking hands with the Colonel

Just a funny picture of my meeting Colonel Sanders at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Oji, Tokyo.
















Nice to meet you, too!

















If you zoom in, you'll see what of the biggest problems with fashion in Asia... older ladies who seem to think that coloring their hair any colour of the rainbow is a bright idea (pun intended).
