Mr. J's adventure in the land of J

We break from our usual program to bring you this special broadcast. Mr. J who is J-land at the moment, dropped me a few pics to share with you screen droolers. Check it out:

0459 - The bus from Kansai airport to Kyoto. Was a pleasant ride but too sleepy as could not sleep on the overnight flight...the space was too small!


0468 - Interesting golf driving range.


0474 - sink/kitchen area. Will post more photos when the house looks a bit nicer.


0476 - Oh dear! I live 5 minutes from Liquor Land!


0477 - Daimonji - A huge 大 character carved onto the mountain, which is burned once a year in June, and has been done since 1489 (I think). It burns like this http://www2.ocn.ne.jp/~oghome/kyoto/daimonji.jpg



0478 - First meal in Japan.


0479 - Nice little walkway near my place


A sign for a Korean restaurant which is called 韓のおしり which unfortunately translates to Korea's Bum.


0485 - Help! My soap is Naive!


0513 - Area about 1 minute walk from my apartment. Its called 哲学の道 which kind of translates to Philosopher's Road or the Path of Philosophy. Its lined with Sakura in the spring and Japanese maples in the Autumn


0515 - My extremely A-Peh bicycle with a basket and everything.


0520 - Sunset over some Sakura near a temple.


0527 - River - Kyoto is full of rivers and bridges.


0528 - Super yummy vanilla yoghurt - addicted.


0533 - Hakkaisan sake - Its the type I had with Prof and Justin when we were at Kanazawa.
