Japanese photography

[tigrekitty]

I just found this photo album filled with hundreds of the most gorgeous pictures I've ever seen. All taken in Japan.. It's impossible to get through all of the galleries in a day, there must be hundreds of thousands of pictures on this site. No wonder Japanese people enjoy photography so much

(i should start off by saying this is leanne's hubby)

it IS a beautiful place, though i wish i remembered more of my trip theer. i was only 8 at the time. i really do want to get back there though. i don't think we have any family over there though. well that's not true, i have a cousin that teaches over there, but all my jap side of the family is from canada. my grandparents were born here too - the only one that was born in japan was my mom because they went back there after WWII.

this useless post has been brought to you by the letter L and the number 11.

Wow, you're mom went back? My grandma was born there to a rich family, but lost everything, married my grandpa and moved to Saskatchewan. I don't really have any family there that I know personally, but you know, I guess I could look them up. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea though, seeing as I'd have a pretty hard time communicating with them.. It would just be me reading crap out of an English to Japanese/vice versa dictionary :(

yeah, i know what you mean about the whole not speaking japanese thing. i really wish my mom had kept me in the japanese classes... the whole reason she pulled me and my brother out was because my brother was a shit disturber and the teacher asked my mom to pull him out. so i lost out by proxy. i did take a beginner's japanese course at UBC, but i really don't remember much of it.

my mom didn't really go back, she was just born there ;) my grandparents went back after WWII seeing as how they were interned here, but they eventually came back here too.

I guess when I've made the plans to go and everything's set, then I may take a crash course in Japanese. I'd like to perfect it before I go, so I don't sound like a hakujine(?sp). Your brother sounds entertaining. :)
