Oh my, haven't done this in a while... Hopefully I still remember how to do this! ^_^; But anyway, as promised yesterday, over the next month or so, gonna finish up posting all the photos I took in Nagoya, Japan during the time I was there. There aren't too horribly much of them left, but they should last me another month or so. Oh and keep in mind, that the reason for some of these photos looking so gloomy and not very green, is because I took them back in January! Either way, enjoy!.

Probably crossed this river a thousand times during the time I was there, yet once in a while still insisted on taking a photo. I lived on the left side of the photo, on the right side, the border of the actual city of Nagoya. Since I wasn't living "in" the actual city, the rent on my apartment was probably a good 30% cheaper, all because I had to commute an extra few minutes, yay!

Then right as you get into the city from that bridge, there's a Toyota dealership/showroom, whatever you want to call it.

Taking a photo of myself.

Oh so many colorful drinks, most of which are very very damn tasty! Each time I go into 7-Eleven in the States, I cry a bit when I look at the selection (or rather the lack of it) of drinks. 10 rows of Coca-Cola, 10 more rows of Pepsi, then some Mountain Dew in the corner... awesome!

More, more more!

An empty playground, probably empty because this was sometime around school hours.

Seems like there's a shrine every hundred meters as you walk down any road.

An empty lot being filled by a small garden.

I have so much of these photos where I just shoot my own zippers... ^_^; Quite like this coat, bought it back in September of 08 when I was visiting some relatives in EU. It was supposed to be warm for the forceable future when I was going there, yet of course as I got there, within 2 days the temperature dropped from about 30 degrees, to less then 10.

Gate to some house.

Then suddenly, and as always, I'm distracted by pretty colors.

...and away I go shooting leaves. In case you haven't noticed by now, I love taking photos of leaves - hence the photos of leaves in just about every single post I make. :p

Around the neighborhood 12 14

Of course more leaves!

More?

More!

A very clean and shiny Honda bike. Looks quite dreary, but I would imagine its quite comfy with that seat. I personally am more of a fan of sport bikes such as the CBR600RR - they're a horrible pain in the ass (literally) to drive around on, but man oh man are they pretty!

Around the neighborhood 12 18

I love these compact sliding gates so much. So much nicer looking then the huge swinging ones you find in US.

Hands down, one of the prettiest cars I have ever seen, the Mitsubishi i. I mean it just doesn't get any simper and prettier then this, the whole car is like a huge bean!

Around the neighborhood 12 20

I said it at least 50x by now probably, but I'll say it once more... These parking roofs, are sooo freakin' pretty! I want one just like... in my room, so just I can look at it all the time!

Back when I just came to Japan, I was so surprised to find palms growing there, never realized just how warm it is there most of the year.

Around the neighborhood 12 22

Oh and to add to the palms, poles covered in cables, everywhere, wherever you look, cables, cables, cables. Though not as distracting as you would imagine them being, just takes a little while to get used to them.

Around the neighborhood 12 23

I really enjoyed walking around all these small neighborhood so much more then around the city, I find it so much more interesting seeing how the "regular" people live, wouldn't you agree? I mean the city is fun and all, but its just so nice and calm around areas like this.

Lets end this post with a green car, standing behind a green net, in with a green rug in front.

    That brings happy memories.. i wish i could go to japan everytime we want... ohhh... Being a coca cola adict is very hard in japan, because it cost me 8 times the price i pay here in mexico!!.. ahhh man!!! i want to go back!!..

    Michael Flux

    @Heferkimbo, Heh I dunno, drinking Coca Cola seems a bit silly when you're in Japan, considering all the other awesome drinks you can get. I mean really, during my whole time there I drank Coke/Pepsi maybe 3 times only :p

  2. Morten Kristiansen

    @I find it so much more interesting seeing how the "regular" people live, wouldn't you agree?
    I couldn't agree more:)

  3. Jamaipanese

    I share you view on taking pictures of regular things and people rather than the city life. Now if only I was in japan.

  4. k

    nice shots! It's missing humans too! ^^

    Michael Flux

    @k, Heh, well, most of the 'regular' people were either in school or at work during the hours that I was walking around ^_^

  5. Tibul

    I definitely agree with consensus its interesting to see how the regular people live, one thing I intend to do when I go to Japan is to visit the more rural villages etc
