Life in Japan - Pictures galore !! Arcades, Temples, Rainy days, etc

doh. will try that again.

 

here we go !

 

Hey, FOOD, i had that too! :lol:

 

FOOD! yeah, quite important it is!

 

Not sure about the best resturant reciept ever as I've had similar ones in resturants, one even said Alcohol...

 

Too much information on that receipt. :lol::lol:

 

Even Japanese fireworks are better.

 

I visited some waterfall today with a few freinds. Mostly took video but I did managed to squeeze off at least 2 not so great images.

Those are beautiful rocks. I love how it's just about impossible to tell the scale on the first photo.

 

It was actually quite high but you can't really tell from the pictures. The video I did shows the scale much better.

 

I've lost my Gaijin Card! :O

I can feel a kerfuffle coming on...

 

This is too damn funny. :lol:

:lol: Best. Comment. Ever

 

No pictures posted in this thread for a while so here's one I took on the way home tonight.



I'm on the 2nd level of a 3 level road behind a chrome tanker. Love driving behind those things. It's like driving in a cruved lense

F-ing amazing.

 

Thats a pretty awesome shot Yakumo

 

Is that the license plate slightly obstructed by the ladder?

Or, is it less necessary since there's a billion other numbers/characters on the back of the truck?

 

I'm glad you guys like the picture. I just whish I had a real camera on me at the time. That was taken with my piss poor 2mega Pixel phone camera through a not so clean windscreen. That's why I shrunk the picture down to hide a lot of the nasty "fuzz" on it.

alecjahn, that ladder is obstructing a part of the number plate but you can get away with it. Japan has many stupid ass laws about driving and cars yet nobody gives a shit and neither do the police. The only problem you'll face is when you got to get the car MOT'ed (serviced for a new tax disc). They will fail you on such a problem. The owner of the truck would just remove the ladder before the examination though or move the number plate.

Man, that much shinning tank must be distracting. XDDDDD

 

I love those sparkling Japanese trucks. You never see those here in Europe, although over the past few years European truck drivers seem to have been inspired by their American colleagues and began installing lots of unnecessary lamps and reflectors on their machines

But chrome ain't as much "in" as it is in Japan. I wonder if there is a law how much chrome on a car is allowed, I know that cars over here are limited when it comes to the % covered in chrome b/c the mirror-effect could distract / confuse other drivers.

 

It looks like you've opened a time bubble to a parallel universe! But yeah I guess it's pretty cool being able to see yourself driving along. I wonder if it made you feel a little bit self-conscious?
