more touristing

Filed under: japan — John @ 11:00 pm

So after the past few days here is what I have seen:

Today- Most of Enoshima Island, Some of Kamakura, and the views out the windows of a monorail that we took to Ofuna.

Yesterday- Smoking Mt. Asama seen from a temple built on the lava flow from the volcano. Everything was still covered in about a foot of snow.

Recently- The Shinkansen, a lot of Karuizawa, and a mess of other things and places. One of the higlights of the week was when the Vice Principal, a Tokyo Univ Art school Opera major, sang “My Way” on stage in the school gym to an audience 700 jr high students.

As photography is considered, the freedom of shooting in official Tourist Locations is indeed something great- People don’t care if you take their photos, and like I said before, one can take many, many photographs of Other People Photographing. That could be a title to an exhibition…
I took 24 rolls today- and a few yesterday. Hopefully I can get a day or two in of printing before school starts again.

Tomorrow’s plan: The Asakusa scene, and later visiting my friend’s father’s law office building in Odaiba.
