JAPANLIFE... (Mega Pic Warning)

[Rezz]

funny how everything looks so quiet especially in Rezz's neighbourhood

It's probably because those pics were taken at 9am on Sunday morning... but yeah, it doesn't get much more busy than that around my area.

How many of those bikes have tracking devices so the owner can quickly locate their bike in amongst the other 700 ?

where are the Japanese girls?

Rezz if you change the resolution of those pics to around 72 DPI, they will still be the same to look at, but they will load a lot faster for everyone.

Eg: a 322kb file can be changed to around 72kb just by changing the resolution.

and seeing as everyone else is making requests for stuff......

I want to see some irezumi pics!!!!

Holy crap, this is great. Thanks so much Rezz, Dave, et al.

Must... not... sell all belongings... must not... move to... japan...

One day. When I've finished my degree and had enough of this job. I'd love to get an IT job in japan, but I think it'd be rather hard, considering I"m gaijin... probably better to just get an english teachers job.

I've only got one girl pic...

This my "other friend" (Troy! Don't say anything!!!) standing infront of Yodobashi Camera, that grey building at the end of the overpass. Yes thats right, the ENTIRE building sells nothing but every electronic device know to man... and then some. Well... they sell other stuff too!

Anyone remember that movie "Black Rain" with Micheal Douglas? Well, this is the Hankyu Mall where Douglas has his first encounter with the Yakuza...

An incredibly clean, efficient and *on time* Japanese train. This one goes from the station closest to my house to Umeda, Osaka.

The west Umeda business district. Many of those tall buildings at the end have popped up in the last 5 years... economy in recession my arse.

These 2 pics are of the large open area where 3 underground shopping malls and 2 department store basements meet up, with a subway station over to the right. It's this busy right up until midnight usually.

[Rezz]

Top pics Chris! You've captured the "real" Japan IMO. Your pics are what you'd see every day of the week.

No mate, it's like a mini Flea Market. They sell all sorts of used jewellery and clothes and stuff.

Seriously... could you????? (imagine what this girls father is thinking...)

So.... are you guys like.... really tall compared to the rest of the population?

A lot of the 'people pics' look like they're taken at a level much higher than the subjects.

[DaiOni]

height thing is a bit of a myth (they've had milk in school lunches for a while now) - the average height is definitely lower than australia, but there is also a distinct difference between the older generation and the new. I'm a shorty at 5'8" or thereabouts, and plenty of my studemts tower well above me.

Nah, I just held the camera up above my head (except for the "Yodobashi Camera" pic) coz people were walking infront of me...
