Awesome photos!
I also found that shrine in Ebisu before, probably my favourite one I've
been to so far. :)

Great pictures as usual.
"The guy with the big case choose the steps... the guy
with the small case the escalator... mmm What to think ?"
That some people are sissies,
and some are not.
"Ramen, the first plate I offer to my relatives visiting Japan
for the first time!"
Really? Don't Japanese people consider Ramen to be a Chinese
dish?
"And what do they bring to me? Saucisson, for the win :)"
I know
what you mean here. When I lived abroad, that was the thing I missed the most from France (with
Cheese of course)

You are right
: looooooong time ago it cane from China, but now I asked my wife : Do you think Ramen as a Japanese
meal and she answered "yes of course!" ;-) Actually one of reason I first offer Ramen is because
it's on my way home :D

The zakkuro look just like pomegranates. Are they the same or close relatives?

I think it is exactly the same indeed...I checked on wikipedia ;-) It' s not a fruit I was familiar with (nothing like this in Normandy) therefore my ignorance... Just realized it was the fruit we call "grenade" in French...

I finally got to visit Japan about 18months ago after 30years of thinking about it but somehow it
kept dropping of my travel plans.
I am a retired Urban Designer so I went to
Kyoto to see the Cultural History, Gardens, Temples etc, an experience I will never forget, a true
visual delight.
Thanks for bring back those memories of Japan for me.. Beautiful
Photographs..
Cheers Mayarama

Mayarama, I am glad you enjoyed your trip. I've been only one time myself in Kyoto and definitely
want to visit it again, maybe in 2010!
Thanks for stopping by !

Nice blog!! It was curious to see that Japanese also eat Grenades (Zakkuro), a fruit I thought was typical from Spain :D And the spider at Roppongi Hills resembles a lot the one there is next to the Guggenheim museun in Bilbao, Google it and you'll see!! Again, I liked your blog!! You got yourself a new reader lol

Welcome : )
I did not know at all about grenades (I only knew the name). I
realized thanks to a previous comment that indeed zakuro = grenades...
As for
the spider called "Maman" (!?) I just checked on wikipedia and indeed there are several of it in
the world. It is the art work of Louise Bourgeois.
Wiki link : Maman by Louise Bourgeois.
Thanks for the info!

Is the ferris wheel that you have pictured the same one that was at the World's Fair in 2005 in Nagoya? I was there with the Toyota International Teacher Program!

I also have a photo of the strange building with the sphere. Mine is not very good. Taken from a tour bus in the fog. I always wondered what that building was.

Fantastic Site! Do you use a Nikon SLR? Or something else?

Cadman : late answers sorry... but no the wheel is a "permanent resident" of Yokohama and has
always been for what I know. I think it's the biggest in Japan...not 100% sure.
The building with the sphere is the Fuji TV Building in Odaiba.
LadyLaraJones : thanks -_-; Yes I use a Nikon D5000 and love it. Just checked your site,
some nice contents also! Ganbare!

The kids shirt was size 90cm. That is not for 5 year olds, that is for 1 year olds.
