Ending Scene

Better late than never, here's a couple of photos I took in April of the street where Bob has his whisper: This is the end of the street where they meet: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u44/samwright8380/DSCN0542.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u44/samwright8380/DSCN0541.jpg The junction a...

yep, still here!

I'll admit that I'm a really bad example of this....I log in once a week or so but don't post much-posts on here are so well thought out I wouldn't want to spoil things!

A trip to a few of these would make for a interesting night out!

i´ve got a nikon coolpix s2....its a small average camera which i bought for under 100 gbp in hong kong. it´s only 5.1 megapixel with a digital zoom, but i find it handy as its slim and wherever i go, it comes with me. I might come across as a bit of a budding photographer, but to put things in pers...

i thought about getting one of the ones there, but i'd already got a ton of stuff and my bags were far too overfilled. Actually, I had the chance to go this weekend, but it was a bit short notice and my bank balance needs a bit of time to recover. I might go again in the autumn, as the summers are r...

Thanks, I'm glad that you all enjoy them! I've added a photo at the end, thought it better to edit the original rather than post pictures randomly through the same thread.

Back in Tokyo again...

Well, it's only been 3 weeks since my last visit and I'm off again! Just throwing some things in a bag and I'm heading off to London. By the early hours of Monday morning U.K. time I should be in Shinjuku, although this time I'm there for a week. At the moment I happen to be very lucky as tickets ke...

I found APC underground quite by accident. I was walking through Harajuku and decided to walk a little further than usual, across a main road from the street famously crammed with fashion obsessed teens. On seeing the sign, I felt compelled to look inside, so took the small set of steps from street ...

This has been only my second visit, although I'm going back at the end of april. You can get suntory at the duty free in narita airport on exit, though I've yet to see it being sold anywhere outside of Japan, except for suntory beer, which I had in Shanghai last year. Certainly I'm fortunate at the ...
