Japan are having to deal with an aging population.

9 May

"Mom, can I?"
Hello Kitty is still the craze after so many years...
They have achieved what Micky Mouse and gang have done
for the young for many decades... only time will tell if Hello Kitty
have the staying power like Mickey Mouse... though I fret the thought
of a Hello Kitty Sario theme park... oh my... shivers...

Another elderly lady working past her retirement.
Tokyo is one hell of a stressful city to live in.

11 May

The Japanese temples are very impressive.
One thing about the Japs, they have taken care of
places with historical value... and not painted them
like some toy department showcase like what we have
done to Chinatown... Spottiswoode Park is a case of
conservation done right.

Engravings dating back more than a century.

Entrance to the temple.
Note the guardian deities on duty.
Guard duty has been around for yonks.
So don't complain when you are in camp.

20 May

ERP, Japanese style...
And the prices the Japs have to pay for their highway tolls makes our ERP dirt cheap...
​

21 May

Wondering if we will ever see residential planning like this in Singapore?
I do fancy the idea of going to work on a speed boat.

Another shot of the Yokohama "riverside housing". Very nice actually.
The river did not smell, which is what makes it so amazing.

Jap fireman doing maintenance work on his truck.

Yes, still using the Olympus E3. That is the only camera I can truly trust myself to bring out on holidays...

Thanks bro. Glad you like the photos.
