Never short of a soft drink or coffee in Japan!
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011More photos from the Japan holiday archive.
Coca-Cola vending machines in Asakusa District, Tokyo, Japan
Calpis, Sapporo and Asahi vending machines in Asakusa District, Tokyo, Japan
In Japan, everywhere on the streets, they have vending machines serving hot and cold drinks from the same machine, from Coca-Cola, coffee, tea, pancake syrup drinks and beer!
So you never short of a drink, anywhere you travel in Japan! (very handy if you have a Coca-Cola addiction!), and the umbrella I’m using was free, people leave them on buses and trains for the next person to pick and use. Now that’s Recycling! Very kind!
and that does say Calpis!
What’s in your camera? An Eye-Fi Wireless Memory Card?

Eye-Fi Wireless WiFi SD Memory Cards
I have a 2GB SD and 4GB SDHC Eye-Fi wireless memory card, if you have a digital camera (and don’t most people today?), and it takes SD, then why haven’t you got one. Transfers digital pictures off the camera automatically to your Laptop, iPad or can upload directly to the internet.
Must be the best Gadget ever!
Video coming soon, photographs straight from a Canon DSLR to iPad via WiFi.

Cloud Power - Microsoft advertising in Japan
I spotted this on the Shinkansen (bullet train) in Japan in March! When was the last time you saw a nicely framed advertisement on a British Train! (and this was not in First Class!)

This was a photograph that Lindsey took, over looking our house in the background, when we walked to the polling station in May.
You can see the “shire” where we live in the background.

Andy at Nagoya Castle, Nagoya, Japan
Lindsey mentioned that people viewing this probably would not have seen the significance on the picture, so here it is again, zoomed in and cut!
and I’ve still not cut the hedge, cut the lawn again, or finished that damn border, it’s been raining….tomorrow (yes tomorrow!) I’ll get round to it!
Andy at Nagoya Castle, Japan
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011As you may or may not know, we had to leave Japan from the Central Japan International Airport, Nagoya and not Narita International Airport, Tokyo because of the earthquake, or because Lufthansa, had decided not to fly from Narita International Airport, Tokyo. So on the penultimate day, we left Tokyo on the bullet train again to Nagoya for one last day and night.
Whilst in Nagoya, we visited Nagoya Castle, and had a very long walk around the Castle Moat, trying to find the entrance, after exiting the tube station! As a taster to the Japan photograhs to come shortly, here’s a photograph that made Lindsey laugh!

(I’ve not really be cloned three times! One is bad enough! I asked Lindsey to take three different exposures, and then I’ve overlaid them for the effect!)
