Japan Retropective

    Sunday, September 20

    I`ve officially left Japan now, we`re a night into our boat travel and the next thing we`ll be seeing is shanghai. I`ve really enjoyed myself the past few weeks. Japan was always `thee` country I wanted to visit and was as insane and attractive as I`d hoped. Their attitude to holding onto the countries history and yet embracing future technologies is something that`s lost on many parts of the world and something to be admired.
    If I had to name highlights it would probably include...the gundam model which was amazing, the goverment building night view, the karaoke in shibuya, everything about tokyo i really enjoyed. The stumbling onto the festival in Nara was as cool as it was surprising and the giant budda in Todai-ji temple was quite something. Hiroshima and the sunset at Miyajima hold fairly strong memories as well.

    I`ve put together a collection on flickr of an overview from Japan, so basically anyone who hasn`t been arsed to click through all the photos can see an overview here (yes I`m on a boat and a wee bit bored)
