Bon Odori
@nskbhachiman #bon #bonodori #tokyo #japan
A few days ago I watched The Barbarian and the Geisha. The opening scene is of a Bon Odori in 1856, and it reminded me of today’s photo, taken at the last Bon Odori I witnessed in 2013.

Berlin Victory Column
#berlin #germany #tiergarten
Today’s photo, which comes from the location for Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin as a US presidential candidate during his visit to Germany in July 2008, was taken in Berlin’s Tiergarten Park. The original location for this statue is the center of this prior photo. The Victory Column was relocated to its present location in 1939 by the nazis. Had it not been relocated, it would have been destroyed in WWII.
Korean Templestay for under $50 a night

If I ever find myself in Korea again I will not pass on this opportunity. I wandered through this place while doing a day hike in the Naejangsan National Park (내장산). I didn’t see a single soul, but apparently you can stay here, participate in zen activities, and be fed for under $50 a night.
International hit
#BookofMormon @BookofMormon #london
After grossing more than half a billion dollars in the USA, the Book of Mormon has gone on to be a hit overseas as well. Today’s photo comes from 2016 in London. Last year I saw ads for the musical all over Copenhagen.
