Tags: life, japan, photography

A little bit more than one month since my last article of the "Everyday Life in Japan" serie. So prepare for a big mix of photos!

Let's start with some shots taken at Daikanyama.

It's a quite fashionable place with many shops and some interesting architecture.

I really like the night shots we can do with the Nikon D5000.

Let's have a dinner in Yutenji, a very nice and peaceful neighborhood, good to place to live I think, expensive though...

Would you enjoy some sea weed? I got used to it and it's very healthy.

Anywhere I go, I can find a cool fixed gear :)

On the way back to the station, a Koban (police box), I wonder what the vertical tube on their bikes is for...

A jump to Yokohama not far from home with a local matsuri :

Wifey catching goldfish : a popular game here, the "spoon" to catch them is made of a thin paper, so you have to be quick and careful to catch some fish before the paper si destroyed.



Morning walking, time to put out the futon, this family found an unusual way to dry them...

Sudden food craving : missing the good doner kebap from France (yeah I know it's from Turkey food but still very popular in France). The ones we have here in Japan are quite different so I ended up to cook it myself! (with a little (big) help from wifey:)

(Of course the best ones I had were in Istanbul...I'd like to visit again this city)

I can tell you it was good!

Yokohama : a fuzzy shot from the iPhone, sorry, I did not have the D5000 at this time...too bad... They are carrying a Mikoshi (portable shrine)

Kit Kat : special Yokohama edition! For the 150th anniversary of its overture to the world. They chose a salty caramel taste : very good and better than some of their strange previous experiences...

Let's take some altitude : an other iPhone shot from the big wheel in Yokohama (this is of course the LandMark Tower (300m)).

Back to the ground, one of the first summer day : nice way to escape the heat :)

Talking about fish, I had the pleasure to meet some cousins of my wife and they welcomed us with a great sushi lunch, うまい!

One last food photo, an unusual sashimi during a "communication party" with co-workers :

This is raw chicken, a first for me! I was not very tempted at first, but actually with the soya sauce it tasted almost like tuna (which is also called "sea chicken", so the loop is done...).

I hope you enjoyed this random mix, next episode next month!
