Meanwhile in Japan…

Category: Misc - Tags: -Japan, Fuji, Fuji Yama, Izu, Koi, Mount Fuji, New Year

Dear fellow Geeks (Girls or boys, Young or old), as you know Japan is now in the middle of week long national holiday named O-shogatsu (more information here at Wikipedia).

Such holidays means that NO ONES or ALMOST no ones works, 99.99% of PR offices are closed and as such there will be no major announcement during this week.

So your dearest Space (Green) Pig, (yeah me) took its family for a small vacation (not like the Japanese Drama, Long Vacation)… here you are some picture we took for yesterday and tonight while we drove to Izu.

Enjoy

PS On the very first picture in the gallery the Japanese lady in Kimono is my wife

Hey gotta love the 3 times a year week long holidays–

BTW where in Izu is that where the kimono-clad lady is walking? Looks like some weird juxtaposition of Star Trek and some Toei Shogun-jidai TV show at the same time happened in there!

Oh, you went to the conference and wedding hall in Tokyo ! I was there yesterday with my girlfriend, I liked the roof wedding chappels, the inside restaurant (old japanese stile one) and the small waterfall and koi lake. I bought a ume bonsai there. Very very nice place. BTW, hope your health is getting better.

Thanks guys for the comments.

The camera I use is a Canon 30D, with a Canon L lens 24-105

And no we are already married so we did not go to the Wed stuff, but we went to the Chinese restaurant in this place that we love and this is at the Meguro Gajoen
Kamion

Hey Alex, Happy New Year to you!
