Where technology meets tradition

Japan is that place. Although I'm sure the photos don't convey the magnitude, it will give at least the idea that Japan is stunning. This post is just a quickie to give you a short look on some of the things I have been feasting my eyeballs with. Japan has been fantastic.

Octopus yoga (Tsikiji Fish Market, Tokyo, Japan)

Ginza at night (Ginza, Tokyo, Japan)

A bride and groom. The headdress she's wearing is translated as "covers her horns" (Temple in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan)

Of COURSE Karaoke is popular in Japan, and this is one of the many "themed" karaoke houses. Karaoke can actually be a fairly economical way to drink. For $30 for 3 hours, you sing badly with your pals and get drunk because they keep bringing you beer (Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan)

Hachiko, Japan's most faithful dog (Shibuya station, Tokyo, Japan)

Japan is a land of MANY vending machines. They vend hot and cold bottles of beverages. I thought this one was special because it takes credit cards AND has an LCD panel on the front showing commercials (Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan)

Shops here are so attractive--everything is "just so" (Tokyo, Japan)

Beautiful building with atrium/staircase in the foreground (Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan)

Beautiful tree-lined avenue (Omete-santo, Tokyo, Japan)

Eels! (Tsikiji fish market, Tokyo, Japan)

The backward waterfall (Ginzu, Tokyo, Japan)

Apologies for the VERY POOR QUALITY of this video--even on my micro-tiny monitor on my camera the backward-motion of the waterfall is easily visible, but for some reason google seems to reduce the resolution here to useless. Use your imagination... It really is cool when you can see it!!
