132: Japan Updates

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

While it rains in Christchurch I can spend some time updating my blogs (a mess right now), adding some details about my Japan trip and also send some pictures from Japan to flickr.

Work goes slowly but that’s expected;-) After a day of work I managed to blog about Tokyo and add pictures from Tokyo, Nikko, Chuzenji and Yumoto to Flickr.

Chuzenji and Yumoto are near Nikko but and I went there on a day trip from Nikko but I did not want to mix the photos with the ones from Nikko, it would just get confusing..

How to browse the new photos? Hmm guess as usual best to go day-by-day via the Calendar View.

Details about the above will follow when I have more time but maybe I can do a mini bog about Kyoto beforetime runs out..

126: Nagoya, Hiroshima & Unzen’s Steamy Wonders

Saturday, April 8th, 2006
I left Nagoya yesterday and went straight to Unzen thanks to the miraculous Japanese Rail & Bus system. The town is small and the smelliest place ever due to the sulphur rich hot steams coming through every crack in the ... [Continue reading this entry]
