Back On Topic: Here is one of my favorite pics from one of my tozans to Japan. This is Sanmon Gate at Tasekiji. Isn't Fuji san so beautiful in the background?

P.S. Sorry Anime Dad my pic interrupted your travel conversation.

I can't understand why ppl don't want to travel. I mean, I know there's plenty of reasons not to... but if you can afford it, why not? It's no secret that Japan is my #1, but i'd love to see Europe, other parts of Asia, even the USA and Canada. Probably the only places I would avoid would be the Middle East and parts of Africa... Much to my shame, i've only been to New Zealand and Fiji :(

a lot of americans are friekin' dorks, and are culturally ignorant when it comes to the ways of the world. they think america is the end all be all....
despite the fact that we are country of immigrants.

but yeah as enna suggested back to the japan action.

many Americans don't even know where America is on a map...and most Americans don't even have a passport and thus have NEVER ever left the country...what do you expect? they probably think Crocodile Dundee is the Prime Minister of Australia and everybody drinks Foster's Beer. friekin' idiots.

I remember a documentary where they were asking Americans where Canada was. The number one answer was "somewhere near England, right?"

SUGOI! You captured the setting (rising?) sun without the sun being present in the picture. Fuji-san looks magical.

@Toshi-kun: Sardines :rofl: Why don't people just wait for the next train? Doesn't it arrive in just minutes?

yeah but your assumption is the next train will be empty...it won't be...it'll be full of ppl too, so get in where you fit in.

Times like that it would be better to be a little Japanese guy than a 6ft gaijin...at least you would fit in a bit better... :P

one time while staying at the park hyatt in shinjuku my friend and i made the mistake of trying to enter Shinjuku station when a TIDE of humanity was exiting the station all at the same time.....we gave up and waited instead of risking death by human tidal wave

I can just imagine :)

Are you serious? I thought the Japanese had more manners than that...

it was like that but the Japanese man didnt say anything bad to me.it was like funny to me,he seen me and said ~ooooh its mr Canadian guy~ but the way he moved hes body and the look on hes face,it was like that CM.

no need to try something foolish...i wasn't drunk.


i've mentioned this here before....we met this girl that told us that her friend's father once cracked a rib during rush hour because the train was so packed with ppl...he literally got crushed.

Thanks Wynter. :) That was sunrise. My friend was able to capture a beautiful moment in time. Magical is the perfect word to describe how I feel whenever I am entering Taisekiji walking under Sanmon Gate with Fuji san in sight.

@Stevie: Glad to hear you weren't treated like the man in the CM. :)

130 yen per plate @ Kamidagawa Sushi??? Is that just for the plate or do they include sushi as well? [/list:u]

this reminds me of a tale my dad told me once. he was on his way to work one day and got on a packed train where no one had any room whatsoever. then all of a sudden this guy started making noises as if he was going to throw up. suddenly, like the parting of the red sea, there was plenty of space around this guy as no one wanted to be covered in vomit!

dunno...that wasn't the focal point of the composition (i.e. pic)....maybe it's a kaitenzushi joint or one of those discount sushi-yas.....i've read about them before.
