Another view from my hotel balcony, this time straight down.

This is the view I had from our room at the Poong Jun Hotel, which was very central. You’re seeing the southern part of Seoul. The first thing that struck me was how it felt more like China than Japan (I was expecting the opposite). You always hear about the modern technological jumps going on…

A close-up of the stone wall that surrounds a neighbor’s home. These are quite frequent in my neighborhood.

There’s lots of contruction work taking place in the Harajuku/Aoyama area right now. It’s good that they’re being creative about it (like with the LINK LINK photo exhibit), but it still makes for quite a few eye sores as you walk up and down Omotesando dori.

The Link Link outdoor photo exhibit taking place in Aoyama in front of the big construction work taking place along Omotesando dori. Great idea.

A private residence in Kita-Kamakura.

Little Buddhas in Kita-Kamakura.

I took this shot in Kita-Kamakura, not far from the shrine we visited. This dog is sleeping, hidden behind the gates of his master’s traditional home (I took the picture behind the gates with my zoom).

Fortune papers.

A shot I took last night just outside my front door with my new mini-tripod.
