Photos from my trip to Japan, part I of [---]

[dangermousie]

As you might remember, Mr. Mousie and I went to Japan in September. I posted write-ups (click on 'japan' tag). I also posted a few photos here. But I also took almost 900 photographs, so I think from now on, now that I got them burned on a disc, I am going to do a daily 'photos of Japan' post until I end up posting all of them. (As well as posts on

Those are great! I think I have the exact same pictures of the imperial palace. I can't wait to see the rest.

Also, should I shrink them so they'd be more compact or leave them this size for better detail??

I usually post 640x480 - you can still see what's going on, but it fits on the screen. You can also add a link under the picture to the big version if people want detail?

Thanks for the shrinking advice. Will do.

love the pics of the imperial palace... too bad all i can remember when i went to tokyo was disneyland.. and i think it's kinda funnie that the subway system is soooooooooo clean and that there is a no groping sign... i'm 5 sorry

[dangermousie]

LOL. We never went to Disneyland. But I loved Japan so much.

yeah same here well that of what i can remember... tokyo disney was a highlight since at the times i was living in asia so the only disney i knew was tokyo...

Wow! I all jealous now. I love the whole no groping sign! And my God *clean* trains!! Thats so rare (although the underground isn't too bad in London!)!

I'd love to go to Japan but I get the feeling I won't be able to make it until I've finished university (so another two years yet!) and thats if I haven't been destroyed financially by the total costs of said unvirsity and the joys of paying back university fees!

I'd agree with raisintorte about the pic sizes. Only so that those with a slowe bandwidth don't have to wait forever to see them.

[dangermousie]

I am sure you'll get to go and it will be fun. Lots of fun. :)

And yeah, I am going to scale down batches to smaller photo size from now on...

Wow, the subway really IS clean!

Heheh, one of the hottest Japanese actors I know, Tamaki Hiroshi, is a model on the lower billboard ad in that one picture. Awesomeee.

[dangermousie]

He looks familiar. What has he been in? Just you wait till my Kat-Tun and Kimura poster pictures. They were everywhere.

[fivil]

He's been in Nodame Cantabile, my favourite jdrama (romantic comedy, very manga-like, makes classical music cool). And a bunch of sideroles in many other dramas, and some films...

Wow! So a clean subway exist in this world? I'm amazed o_O. And the ties are cute lol ^^. Everything seems really clean.

[dangermousie]

Those ties were adorable. And I think you could eat off the floor of that train. Of course people would look at you funny if you did that :)
