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

Wow, awesome pics guys!

@GaijinPunch: This one totally rocked!! Amazing picture!

 

Yeah, nice one from the Yoyogikoen.

 

That it is. When I saw it I instantly thought of Ghostbusters :nod:

 

I had to wait about 3 minutes for that damn Marshmellow Man to get out of the way.

 

you were there too?
i think most of the gaijin in tokyo were there
me too

 

In the Spring, every gaijin residing in Tokyo goes to Yoyogi on Sunday. I live about 500 meters away, so I'm there a lot.

 

Where I work

 

Oh, I quite enjoyed it while he was standing there

 

:lol: nice photoshop job.

 

i might be wrong but that should be the view from inside out to where u are standing ?

 

Haha -- awesome!

 

Correct!

 

man thats spooky someone walking in my footsteps :-0

 

Dude your pic kinda freaked me out.

This is one I took in '09

 

lol i just had a csi feeling lets zoom in lets zoom in more and more...

cant compare that to the cherry blossom ghostbuster marshmallow man but hey it was january ^^

 

The R32 is yours? ray:

 

They're very common in Japan just like any Japanese sports car. If you have a decent job you can buy a GTR, STi WRX or Evo quite easily. Well, having a nagging wife may stop you but not the cash :nod:.

Yakumo

 

Along with the Hona NSX, the Nissan Skyline R32 GTR was up there as my ultimate japanese car as a young boy in the early 90's ... I remember spending hours pawing over models of them both in my Tamiya catalogues!

Very tempting to buy an R32 even today! :love2: ... the NSX is sadly still a pipe dream though!

You drive an Impreza don't you Yakumo?

 

Yeah, i have a STi tuned Impreza wagon. Great car but not so special in Japan. There are loads of them. I see many every day. In fact in this area where I live there are 6 STi Imprezas. The avarage age of the drivers seem to be in there mid 30s too. There is a plus point about them being common though, at least parts and dealers are easy to find and not too expensive.

The R32 is still a great car but not really my style. Check out Yahoo Auctions to get an idea of how much they sell for. You'll be surprised at how little you can get a very nice one for. Also remember that the Japanese do seem to take good care of their items, especially electronics and cars.

 

Heh
