Wow, I totally agree. That totally looks like Japan but all the signs are in the wrong language.

I didn't mention that when you walk down the street at night, random young people will yell "HALLO!!" three inches from your ear when you pass by. Just like home.

Love this lot. That magma tunnel is seriously incredible stuff.

And who knew that customs officials are dicks?

Well, these were immigration officials... but for all the complaining I do about Japanese immigration with their fingerprints and photos and the like, at least I can get through that in 45 seconds.

I did.

Besides even The 2's kvetching, try reading Robert A. Heinlein's Tramp Royale sometime. It's his nonfiction account -- which went unpublished for 40 years -- of the year he spent traveling around the world in the '50s with his wife, deliberately not by plane. It seems that not very much has changed in the intervening decades.

Japan still looks more lit up to me. Of course, I don't LIVE THERE. These pictures are amazing. GIVE ME ALL YOUR CAMERAS AND LENSES NOW!!

Oh, okay, just wait until I'm done with them. Just a few more minutes hours months just wait until like 2017 and oh never mind. Thanks for the compliments though... :D

Also, you might not live here, but YOU HAVE A TOKYO SHIRT.
