    Nice pics DCharlie !

    i'd love myself some BlastCity next to me... Really my cab of choice, so expensive in europe and pretty seldom seen.

    How is it cheap to buy one in Japan ?

    Last night I was out on the piss for the first time in a few months. God knows how many drinks I had but I did manage to stumble back to my car where I slept until 11:30am today. On the way back I met not one single person. It was if I had an entire city to myself! Even the roads were empty. Here's a few pictures I took with the phone at around 2am.

    Esculators leading down from the train station. This is the only picture that had anyone or cars in it.

    The station after 20 minutes of walking. Should have only taken 5 minutes to get that far.

    Nice pictures, Yakumo.

    Speaking of out and piss, I saw a nice sign the other day 小便禁止(No pissing). I usually don't see those here in Sendai.

    Well, the Japanese men are dirty fuckers when it comes to that. Dicks out and piss where ever. Dirty twats! At least go down a side street against a wall.

    Why is it in English? It's the Japanese guys that like to get it out where ever without shame.

    More random crap from me.

    Today I stopped off at this supermarket to buy some lunch. Around the back in the car park were about 13 to 15 cats! they must live there or something. All peaceful and so on.

    This cat looks pretty angry but it was just saying hello......err...yeah.
    [​IMG]

    What was surprising though was some old guy asleep in his van along with 5 cats!! I managed to get a few pictures before anyone spotted me.

    Bored at the traffic lights.

    Weather was great today in Tokyo.

    Went on a walk and managed to see a few salarymen napping in random parks.

    He's probably learned all he knew about keeping cats from Shenmue:

    Nice pictures yakumo+dcharlie! Keep them coming :)
    I like the deserted station at night. You must be one tough Liverpool guy to accept spending the night + awaking w/possible hangover in your car for a couple of drinks :) I bet it was fun after all :thumbsup:

    hahaha, you'd think so from all the boxes.

    It was fantastic while drinking and even the walk back to the car was cool due to there being nobody about. It felt like I was in one of those Zombie movies where everyone had been killed off :clap: Sleeping in the car wasn't too bad. The seats fold down in the back to make a bed plus I had my blanket. I did have the emergency bucket next to me though:DOH: I've slept in my car many times since most of my mates live in the next city so I always drive there.

    Now, that is one qulaity picture! :thumbsup:
