Japanese House

Hmmmmmmmmmm..... So nice.. I miss Japan so much :'( This photo was taken a year ago, my previous trip to Japan, not the recent ones.. I tried to find the feelings when I first time went to Japan.. Wait, I'm not saying the first trip was nicer than the recent one or in reverse.. neither of them is nicer or such things.. both were wonderful experience of mine.. Both feelings were very very affecting..

Actually, the town, the streets I went.. the places, houses I saw were more or less the same.. However, where goes the feeling I had last time..? It's a feeling, affection that I really can't describe with words.. I miss that feelings.. Most probably, I'll be missing the feelings of the recent and previous trip when I go again next time and it will go on and on like that.. Just thinking about it makes me become so appreciative of my every moment in life..

Anyway, the photo was taken at Takayama, Gifu prefecture.. A typical Japanese house.. Not so small, not so huge.. but very very very, extremely clean, neat and tidy.. usually with garden in the yard..

Notice : My blog will be inactive for a while.. I won't be posting any photos until my exam is over and after everything is back in order again.. I'll see you guys again in December, 20th, 2010.. I'll be posting a special post by then.. I'm compiling my recent Japan trip photos.. Thinking of compiling it into one album and upload it.. Will see how.. But I can guarantee, next post will be worth while.. Have a nice month.. And hope to see you again next month.. Anything.. Just send me e-mail - kichoy91@hotmail.com - Thank You Very Much and See Ya! Muah ^x^ LOL

Welcome To Physical Realm...

Hmm.. I don't know what title should I make for this photo. LOL.. As you can see in the picture above, my main focus was the baby. Although, I guess it isn't really so.. I was quite failed in focusing totally at the baby due to the crowd at that time and my lens doesn't have a large aperture.. However still, I like this photo:P

People And Street

Photo was taken in Takayama Street, Japan.. I quite like the view from the lower angle of the staircase and so I took some photos of it just to feed my curiosity about how it'll look on my camera screen, and there you go... That's all for today, until next week:D

Vintage Ride

As you can see in the picture, it is an old ride I saw at this hotel I stayed in Takayama, Japan called Grantia Route Inn Hotel and if you see the photo properly, it was actually snowing when I took this photo.. Anyway, this ride is still in a good condition and well maintained, and the hotel use this vehicle to provide transport for their customers to visit the town of Takayama:)

Marching

This is in Takayama, Japan.. And the band was participating some sort of celebration that was held at the town.

Street Life In Takayama 2

Takayama, Japan.. A very clean and tidy town.. Because of the discipline of the Japanese.. You will be shocked when you see their drain in Takayama, it looks exactly like a river.. the water is very clean and the current running steady.. very nice..:)

Vintage Bicycle

A close up photo of an old bicycle I saw when I was roaming the town of Takayama, Japan:)

Ginkgo Leaves

Some Ginkgo Leaves I took at Takayama, Japan..:) For those who do not know about this fact, let me explain.. Ginkgo leaves, Maples Leaves any other leaves are all originally green in color. However, it'll turn into nice colors like yellow or red or etc. during autumn because it doesn't catch or received enough light from the sun.. The worst time for them is winter, that's when all leaves will fall.. That's as far as I know, like explained by our tour guide..

Stroll

I love this one very muchT_T Yup, taken this photo in Takayama Town, Japan.. There was a morning market and it was so crowded.. people keep coming in and out.. And when I saw those seniors on the way, they caught my eye very much, that forced me to take their picture.. So, here it is:D Some said, it looks like a picture from the 60's, I kinda think it's true, because of the cloth they're wearing.. lol.. Anyway, Japan is nice:D

Cycling Back Home

Bicycle, you can find it everywhere all over Japan. The Japanese have this discipline where, they will not use their car to their destination if it's only around the corner. First, they do not want to contribute to traffic jam. Secondly, they do not want to contribute to air pollution. Thirdly, they want to stay healthy by cycling their bicycles instead of only hitting the clutch and shifting up gears. The Japanese even walk to their workplace. It's a country of discipline, that's what I've been told and I can say it's entirely correct especially in the rural areas like Takayama for example. This photo taken in Takayama, Japan:)

Shinto Shrine

Japan againXD also in Takayama.. We visited a Shinto Shrine which was full of visitors from other countries at that time. I actually have more photos of the shrine and the area but I decided to upload it next time when I feel I want. lol. For now let's just enjoy the entrance of the shrineXD

Appreciating The Fall Season

Again, this was taken in Japan. This is at Takayama, a rural site of Japan located in Gifu prefecture. At that time, we were actually checking out some roadside shops and I saw my dad standing next to the maple tree while gazing at the other side of town. I find it was interesting, so I took a shot...
