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

Japanese railways look to me like the rich secret brother of valencian railways. XD

Do they get enough of a wave to actually surf?

 

Wow, that looks fantastic.

Sorry if it was already posted, but what cameras do you use DCharlie and Tatsujin?

I really want to go to Japan one day....

This state still sucks. I will see you soon, towers cats lights.

 

awesome pics Tatsujin!

 

some 2010.01.01 right after sunrise pictures

 

I wished I was in Japan, getting up well before dawn to see the sun rise and then seeing mount fuji in the distance...

 

It's warm enough on Jan 1st to be surfing? I'd assume even if it was mild, the water could be ballsy cold.

 

Great pictures Tatsujin, looks like the ending of a Beat Takeshi movie ^^

:O
Did they refurbish the old plain white Taito-logo? Now it looks like an F3 advert ^^

 

I went to a classic game expo today which was a load of crap. The only playable system was packman running on a Playstation 2 using a LCD screen. Bollocks! They did have a load of classic arcade cabs such as Zaxon, Donkey Kong, Barrel Pong and a load of Pacman cabs but none were working. They also had a remake of the worlds fist video game using the oscilloscope and some very early console called The Box. It basically was a wooden box with a few switches. Apart from that everything else was stuff you could buy on yahoo Auction up to 360 and PSPGo.

As always with Japanese Expos there was a no photograph rule but I did manage to squeeze one off before being jumped upon.



A picture inside Kamon Tunnel that links Honshu to Kyushu.

Pardon my tunnel-boner. I blame vodka and a longing for not-Kansas.

Really, epic shot.

 

Yeah, real 60kmph motion blur
