Yomiuriland roller coaster
Today’s photo of Ryan was my view as the Japanese ride operators waived goodbye to us on the Bandit Roller Coaster at Yomiuri Land. Moments later we could see all of Tokyo before plunging into the abyss.

Karaoke in Takadanobaba
Today’s photo brings a smile to my face. Since I’m usually the one holding the camera, it is rare that I’m actually in a photo, but in this case someone must have thought the ridiculousness of the scene warranted a photo. Ellie seems to think that my singing literally stinks. π Ryan is sporting his Unicorn t-shirt we picked up (just down the street from this Karaokekan–γ«γ©γͺγ±ι€¨–in fact) at Uniqlo.
Takoyaki party
How many things can you spot in this photo give you a pretty good idea that Ryan is in Japan rather than the other way around (a bunch of Japanese kids over our house in the USA)?
I’ll start:
1) a takoyaki machine
2) sofa made for people with incredibly short legs
3) kewpie mayo
4) laundry hung up to dry
5) mugicha
Fall Japanese scene
Autumn in Japan
If you are currently in Japan, October and November are excellent months to go hiking. The weather is generally good, the fall foliage is beautiful (although the fall colors generally don’t hit their peak near Tokyo until late November), and the crowds (especially on weekdays) are slim to none.
Today’s photo was taken in late November on our way up Mt. Mitake.
Somewhere in Cambodia
Cambodia
I am not sure where exactly my random wallpaper for today was taken as I didn’t shoot this photo. Ryan took this picture while on a field trip last year with his TIS class in Cambodia. Angkor Thom perhaps?
Yomiuri Land (γγΏγγγ©γ³γ)
Yomiuri Land (γγΏγγγ©γ³γ)
This will likely be my last blog entry for a few days and my last one on Japan for about a couple months. Well, maybe I will sneak one or two in about Japan, but, for the most part, this blog will change gears to Scandinavia until sometime in August when your regularly scheduled Japan stuff will return.
I board a plane tomorrow morning for Copenhagen. I’ll be in that region until July 31. I will for sure be going to Amsterdam (at the end of my travels), Sweden, and Norway. I hope to squeeze in a few days in Germany too, but that depends on whether Mastodon secures me a press pass to their performance at the Roskilde Festival or not. Not and I go to Germany. Yes and I go to the Roskilde Festival instead. I already have a press photo pass for the Getaway Rock Festival in GΓ€vle, Sweden so that should be a blast. Count on some up-close photos of Death Angel and Opeth with my Nikon D7000.
Today’s photo, by the way, is from Yomiuri Land (γγΏγγγ©γ³γ) in Tokyo.
