Holiday in Japan....

[Jamie Stokes]

Off to Japan for holidays, flying out tomorrow, and just wanted to say a quick "Cheerio" to the guys here on pF!


I'll be off to Osaka, then Hiroshima, return Osaka, then back to Australia.

Then a week off to let all the experiences percolate......


See you here on pF when I get back


Cheers

John, Tony, Scott, Hiroshi, Gordy, Carl, Derek & Mark,

thanks for the wishes,

had a great time, too short, or rather, life is too fleeting to enjoy such a place as fully as I would have liked.

Weather, for Autumn was mild, and my friend in Japan helped me out with getting around, sights to see, so on.


Ladies who helped are Kanae (Lady who appears the most) as well as Yoko and Miyuki.

Miyajima Island was lovely, I've included a sign for the cable car (rope bridge) that appealed to me...

Plus a pagoda from Miyajima Island.

Cheers,

Jamie

 

[HiroshiAirborne]

I'm glad you had a wonderful time! I too can say that there is never enough time to explore that country deeper.

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Thanks Hiroshi,
so many layers in Japan, culturally, the place is like an ocean - there is a bottom, just way down deep!

I share some more photos;

A beer vending machine
the floating Tori of Miyajima island
Miyajima Momiji (Miya Island autumn leaves)
Tori (gates) leading to monks quarters, Miyajima
and for a bit of a (Japanese) break, Green Tea Kit-Kat chocolate. Yummy!

 

[tonydawe]

Good to have you back Jamie-san.

Sounds as if you have formed a deep bond with Japan and most things Japanese.

 

[housecarl]

Green Tea Kit-Kat, I like the sound of that.
Carl.
