The Japan 30-day Meme: Day 01 - A picture of you "in Japan". (doing or wearing something "Japanese")

I love photography, but I don't have that many of myself and if there's "something Japanese" going on, I'm probably the one taking photos of it. So there are no photos of me at the Tokyo Game Show or fire-walking at the base of Mt. Takao or standing on the streets of Shibuya at 5am.

Here's the next-best thing I could find - a photo from my phone of me at an all-you-can-eat cake buffet in Shinjuku. I'm putting on that angry expression because I have a weird sense of humour.

Me in Japan (f-locked)
