Very nice work.

My favorite is the one of the train conductor, as well as the girl with the keitai. =)

Did you enjoy Tokyo?

I have to admit, I like the picture of the old man taking a picture of you taking a picture of him.

I also like the 3 "construction workers" or is that chimpira using the cross walk.

hey, thanks! The old man is actually taking a picture of the other old man whose head is missing. He was so concentrated, I dont think he spotted me at all.
I enjoyed Japan and Tokyo a lot. Also went to Hokkaido and Kyoto, but Tokyo left the strongest imprint on me. I felt very foreign.

Thanks for posting these pictures. They're really excellent.
I think my favorite was the 3 happy construction workers crossing the street, but the picture of the escalator was very good too.

(A small thread-jack- The escalator picture reminded me of my recent trip to Tokyo; when I went there the escalators mixed me up to no end. In Kansai we always stand on the right and walk on the left, but it's the opposite in Tokyo, so I was always standing on the wrong side.)

Those are construction workers. Chinpira look much different (although there are sometimes overlaps)

You know, this thread title struck me as very John2ish. I had to double check the poster's name.

Actually, thanks for the pics.

I was hoping for a few pictures of Tohoku in there.. Aomori, Sakata (port town), Sendai, Oodate, Aizuwakamatsu, Koriyama, for nastalgic reasons. But those were very nicely done ...

In the area of Japan I am most experienced in, they were one in the same. lol, thus the reason why the picture was so impactive to me.

I wish I had traveled around more in Japan, but its just too expensive, in Tokyo I could stay for free.
