I just returned from a trip-of-a-lifetime in Japan. 2 weeks of culture, fun, eye candy, shopping, eating (!!!) and photography… loads and loads of photography. During the tip I took close to 1000 shots in the 14 days I was there. Thats a lot of photos yo.

You can view all my Japan photos over at my blog. Photos are being uploaded every day and I have some good ones coming up soon!

My impressions of Japan are too numerous to mention here. Summary would be:
- Cultureshock! Everything is different there. It truely is a different world.
- Politeness. People are so polite and curteous it makes you look like a bafoon with no manners.
- Technology. Yes, it is true what they say about Japan. It really is that advanced.
- Hot. Erm, yea, Im not going to Japan in July again thats for sure. Tropical climates pushing 35 C with humidity? No thanks.
- Food. Of course the best sushi in the world Ive had.
- Lights lights lights! Check out this picture from Tokyo:

I also had the pleasure to finally meet the infamous papiNinja in Osaka. He’s even more fun to hang out with and an all round nice guy than he seems in his emails and online. Im happy to have met him. Him and Mrs papiNinja also took me out to dinner and showered me with gifts of candy and cool stuff from Osaka.

Oh and I also saw this guy:

Wow. Whats best? I got upgraded to first class on my way back from Tokyo. I was fed well! What better way to end the #summeroffaisal.

Cant wait to go back! And next time I will spend more time in the country side and smaller cities and see the old Japan rather than the cities…
