Baka naman di pa talaga ex. Hehehehe

Never pa sila nag abot hahaha. Parang hindi naman madalas dumalaw cousin ko. Yes she's beautiful, typical latina beauty. Gusto ko ugali niya, maalaga, masipag at mahusay makisama. She calls my Uncle and Aunt Dad and Mom nga. Broken family kasi kaya 20 yrs na ata siya nakatira dito (on and off)

i dis-agree.

it's the best they can do, considering how much space they have.

Wow sublime scenery and photos jut. I share the same sentiment with Japan. I don't mind coming back. Even multiple times. Most places seem to be the best it can be. No doubt in big part due to disciplined Japanese culture.

nice captures bro!

bakit kaya ito tumakbo sa isip ko dito sa pic na ito ..

Dadalhin kita sa aking palasyo
Dadalhin hanggang langit ay manibago
Ang lahat ng ito'y pinangako mo
Dadalhin lang pala ng hangin
ang pangarap ko

We were there as spring turned into summer. At first it was chilly (around 15-17 degrees at night), but in our second week, temps dropped to about 21-22 degrees at night and about 28 in the morning. Overall, good weather if you don't want to bring layers of clothing.

great shots as always bro[emoji108]

Thanks bro. I hadn't used my camera for about a year prior to Japan so I felt that shooting wasn't as intuitive anymore, but the trip rekindled my interest for photography. Also, the trip made me realize how heavy my full frame SLR and lenses are, so I bought a full set of lenses to go with the mirrorless camera my wife gave me.

Image quality of the M100 is still a long shot from the 6D, but my shoulders are thanking me for shedding 2/3 the weight of my gear. [emoji23]

Slytherin through and through. [emoji6]

Agree bro! Would love to have an expat assignment in Japan someday. More than the sights and food (both of which are amazing), the culture is really what makes Japan extraordinary.

If there's anything that tainted Japan's charm, it's the heavy influx of mainlanders - places like USJ and Arashiyama were filled with swarms of mainland tourists. To be fair, most of them are more well-mannered than mainlanders in Hong Kong, but there was just more of them there than I expected.

A few more stuff I found interesting:

An old-school Starbucks in Nanenzaka, Kyoto complete with tatami interiors:


A rare train breakdown in Chiba, which meant we had to walk 40 minutes to our destination:


The scarcity of sports cars in Japan. You'd think that the birthplace of the 90s JDM legends would have more sports cars running around, but exotics like this Ferrari were few and far in between (at least compared to other first world Asian countries like HK or SG). I think the biggest reason behind it is Japan's aging population (1/3 are over 60 y/o) and thus the preference for comfortable luxury sedans (no shortage of Lexus and Benzes here).


For the younger folk with less spending power, kei cars are the most popular. Heck, I see more Civics here in Manila than in the Japanese cities we visited. [emoji23]

Another reason for the disinterest in fancy cars of course is the ultra-efficient subway - even if trains get packed during rush hour, people aren't rowdy because they know that the next train will come in 2 minutes so they wait their turn.

Nice pics, Jut! Japan is a really nice country. We were in those same areas (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara) last November. We will definitely go back but I told my wife I would be more interested to go to Hokkaido area, like spending winter in Sapporo.

[minicarph]

Ang messure ko kung dugyot country is pag ma pimple ang mga locals , it means they eat a lot of toyo that excretes in their skin tapos nagkakarun ng bacteria

Jaoan is the same as any other Asian country pala when in terms of hiusehold, dami anik anik tapos ang gulo ng bed room tapos hinde naliligo sa umaga

If they have free beer out there, I surely will not refuse. Hehehehe

[CVT]

I have naturally blended with the people there... Just no talk and significantly less beer/noodles...

And Yoshinoya is everywhere!
