Nice pics oakley. I like the bridge.
... and welcome. :victory:

Thanks guys. Like I said, I'll post more later on. My night shots could have been better had I used my tripod; but I didn't. I've been cruising this forum for years now, I've just never posted.

I hope every one of you who wants to go to Japan will make the trek sooner or later. I'll try to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.

totally makes me want to get on a plane and head back to Tokyo for another trip, for now, only in my dreams...
but it is nice to look at those pix. :thumbsup: :woot:

don't worry i've fallen victim to my own inebriation countless times and in anticipation of less exciting ventures.

i was just f*cking around and found a roundtrip ticket on JAL from L.A to Narita on at the end of Jan. '06 for only 575 dollars. Isn't that cheap notwithstanding it's a low season ticket....wow....pretty cheap.

seriously, atleast a few thousand at one time, and to be in the middle of all that, it's crazy.

so much to do there also, never a dull moment. :hehe: :thumbsup:

yeah i heard Hong Kong is awesome....brother, you can't compare ANY WHERE in cali to cities like New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo....it's just NOT even possible.....we are like bumpkins here in comparison...i'm not hatin' but just bein' real... i enjoy living in the Southland but when it comes to the "excitement" we're talking about...there is absolutely no comparison.

i was rather busy when i was in HK, night spent at one of the trendy bars, or walking up and down Temple St, sampling the food along the way... trying to use up my Octopus card going back and forth under the bay... and the fresh red bean mochi up at the Peak was awesome.

i've heard Hong Kong is truly one of the great metropolitan areas...maybe not when it's ricockulously humid but i know many great cities suffer that fate...

enlighten my igorant ass...what's an Octopus card?

Octopus card is the subway pass... at least that's what my HK friends kept calling it.
