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

Yeah. Before that I had a Version 7 WRX STi. The Subie was more fun, though. I'm looking for a Celsior now.

 

One of my favorite Hard Offs:






AS it looks now:

 

I wonder if there is anything salvable in that store or would you be done for steeling? Hmm.....

 

it's now a broken off.

 

Can I borrow it? ;-)

That poor store In the 3rd picture (bottom left) is that a snake or something?

 

It looks like a snake but since it's blue I'd guess not.

 

also it looks like a rattle snake but which we usually do not have here.

 

Might be a rubber toy snake?

Well, there is still so much cleaning up to do, it will take a long time. I know when Hurricane Katrina hit Texas, people were still rebuilding 5 years after the fact, so it can be a long road to rebuild, but Japan will bounce back like they always do.

Best of luck guys and hope you keep in good spirits.

 

The iPhone is jamming up with images so I thought I'd share some with you. Of course the quality is a bit poor but better than nothing I guess.

First up a crazy place to put a petrol station, in between two tunnels. Apparently the do good business there!


At 1:30am this Mr. Neon Nightrider thought it would be a good idea to race me in his turbo charged box. Soft sod. As if he's beat an impreza.


Today the missus, son and I walked under the sea from Honshu (Shimonoseki) to Kyushu (Moji). Here is the bridge that links the two parts of Japan together from the Honshu side.


A little bit of information about the pedestrian tunnel.




The missus and son about to walk down the 780 meter tunnel


The bridge from the Kyushu side.


The road of death!


Hmm, a guilty looking puppy.


Believe it or not, trains actually come out of here.


Entrance to a street. Not sure what is so special about it. Probably something to do with the battles that took place here a few hundred years back.


A sign for a Love Hotel, basically a place where you go to have sex. But that's not why I took the picture. Just look at that awful Engrish.


I just found this so funny. It's as if you have the angry demon and the camp demon :lol:


Finally a picture from what once was a British port. Many of the original buildings remain here including Mojoko train station which was designed by British architects.

Japan is such a nice place... Very expensive. Once in my life time I'll be there!

 

I've uploaded two videos to my YouTube channel so that you can see how clean Japan can be. No crap at all in the road and no dickheads begging you for money on every corner unlike the UK where I'm originally from.

Please give thumbsup ! More thumbs up allows for longer YouTube videos which will really help Retro Core.

I live by the coast in England and around by the sea front theres tramps drinking cider and chavs in their tracksuits hanging around.

Japan looks totally different.

 

Chavs, scallies, scum or just plain pricks are what made me leave the UK in the first place.

 

And that was 10 years ago?

It's even worse, believe it or not.

 

I want to visit Japan sometime... maybe after they've cleaned up a bit though. I'm quit impressed with how clean those areas are.

 

I'd move to Japan if I could, I'd most likely live there if I become successful . Liking the videos for you Yakumo

 

It's called looting.

Even scallies know that!

 

You're welcome :thumbsup:

well, it is in a way but if the store has just been left there in that state until now I think it's pretty safe to assume the Hard Off company isn't interested in the stock inside.

Every day I drive past two TV dumping grounds full of quality CRT screens yet I'm not allowed to take one because it's steeling They're going to be scrapped so what's wrong with giving a nice home to one? I may go down to one of the grounds early in the morning and rummage around for a true RGB set.

In case anyone is wondering why there are TV dumping grounds, it's because the analogue TV signal will be switched off in a few months so everyone needs a HD TV now.

dinner...
