April Picture Backlog
Too many things, too little time. So, until I manage to get my new non-keitai to play nice with the Keitai Logs auto-post script, here is a small selection of Spring snaps.
Spring at Last…
You know you are at a Japanese free party when…
- … everybody is smiling, having a good time and randomly engaging in friendly conversations.
- … people you’ve never met spontaneously come up to you and offer you a beer (or a swig off whatever bottle of alcohol they are drinking from).
- … asking for a light gets you not only that, but also a brand new mini portable-ashtray as a gift (to you and surrounding Nature).
- … little kids and grandpas, dancing along with the rest of the hippie club kids, is the most natural sight in the world.
- … you are standing over the Kamogawa, surrounded by cherry blossoms, dancing to some of the funkiest, jazziest, house beats you’ve heard in a long while…
What a nice and unexpected way to cap a lovely hanami/easter picnic on a Sunday afternoon…
“Ah, you must be Mr Gaijin-san”
You know you are in Japan when…
you show up to renew your Kyodai ID and a staff you’ve never met before immediately pulls it out of a stack of 300 identical cards, before you had a chance to give your name.
Yea: not a lot of whities in my faculty.
