JAPANLIFE... (Mega Pic Warning)

[Evo_Lee]

Opps forgot I saw it Friday.

Don't be modest, I know there are 2 more ladies missing, one on each side. You big hunk of man you.

[clow]

Tell you what, when I was there in Feb, most women had skirts and leather boots on.

Oh Yea baby!

Who me? Have a fetish? I thought it's just normal behaviour....

What about some pics from Niigata, Brian?

...and Andrew surely you must of taken some shots around Chiba???

Streeter? South Osaka?

C'mon guys, we need more localized pics!

[Sciby]

Go Osaka, then I can see where my Skyline is from.

I've got plenty, but no webspace to put them up. I could attach them I guess. Tonight I even found mypics of the local magic mushroom/panty vending machine

A friend of mine must have come close to losing a finger to the yaks tonight - wish I had a photo of his face at the time! He's borrowing their tattooist - said the wrong thing (he's well known as a social nightmare) at the wrong time when the boss dropped by. Mental note: do not make jokes about the yakuza in their presence

Funny ol' place, japan.

[clow]

DaiOni, I'd be happy to host them up on mysite. I promise I won't claim them as mine (if they are good shots, I can't guarantee that tho...hehe).

These are some pics of my little trip...

Hope to be heading back ASAP.

This just reminded me a bit of Family's from Initial D

Which luckily enough I got to watch at about 2am in my hotel room!

Hello Kitty sub box... I love it

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to ride the bullet train,

I had a nice big smile when the YOU ARE NOW TRAVELLING IN EXCESS OF 300km/h came up on the LCD screen. I lucked into the coolest looking train as well, expensive habit though!

Japan is a pretty amazing place, the slow train to Kochi let me take in some countryside...

The local Up Garage was pretty cool too

Just a cool (not exactly modded to my taste) R34

Anyway... Japan is weird. Can't wait to get back there

[SKY031]

I love that Hello Kitty sub box!

Do they make Kerropi ones?

[Drift-King]

Any more pictures ?

[akeenan]

...and Andrew surely you must of taken some shots around Chiba???

i havent many photos of around actual chiba but i have a few of nishi funabashi around my apartment building

the first pic is Iidabashi taken from the 10th floor of my school

the others are pictures from outside my place

[akeenan]

1st pic is a photo from a train station in saitama

2nd pic is a picture of ginza my 2nd favourite place

3rd pic explains itself but was taken in Iidabashi near my school

4th pic fun one of the first trains home from shibuya

[akeenan]

1st pic (like rezz's) what happens to me when i go out... this was a very good night we spent 39000 yen in this bar and then we all went and did karaoke

the others are of Yokohama,... not the best of pics but i didnt take any on the street.

Nice photos Akeenan... the japanese definitely have the whole track housing thing down pat.

The bar photo, I gotta ask... what are japanese women like when they're out on the turps? Are they quiet, or do they carry on like australian women? Do gaijin even stand a chance with them?

[Laurence]

Oh yeah... some Japs girls get round eye fever after too much sake

[akeenan]

i dont really want to go to much into it but bascially if i make an attempt to talk to a girl over here in a club or a bar they will and always do talk back.

[Sciby]

Yeah, I get the same thing here... although it's generally "Get away from me" or "You smell" or "The judge said 100 meters, Sciby."

[(B1) MR_fanny]

nice pics akeenan.....but why is there a guy lyin in the middle of the floor in the train??

[Rezz]

Heres some different shots I took on Saturday. I only 3x optical zoom on my Canon Ixy 500, but I tried to make good use of it with these "spy" shots...if you can call them that! I didn't go after the big modified cars (Troy can attest to the abundance of modified cars going past my house on Route 2) but I went after every day cars instead, and a suprise car...

Thats the big bridge down by Sushine Wharf where SuperAutobacs is.

Just a typical Saturday morning in Settsu Motoyama.

Same as above but looking west.

This is the Bridgestone (pronounced "Bu-ri-ji-stoe-n" in Japanese! There you go!) Gasoline Satnd directly across the road from me. Just shortly after this pic was taken, that dude creaning the windscreen ran out onto the middle of the road, and waited there, holding up traffic long enough for the March to come out and drive off... can you imagine that happening in AU/UK/NZ/US???

If I'm not mistaken.. this is a CITROEN 2CV!!!!! WTF??? ... and you thought Japan was high-tech! Theres that dude again holding up traffic...

A Celica and Civic just cruising along... the ZZT231 Celica is pretty popular around were I live, theres no less that 3 mildly modified SS-IIs on my block and adjacent blocks.

Alright! This is more like it... Stagea 2.5 25RS that had a nice burble to the exaust.

Mitsubishi Grandis van, and a DC5 Integra Type R (the good JDM version... not the barebones AU version!)

At first I thought this was a "Honda Legreat", but now I'm not sure... anybody know what it is? I think the fact that you can get a carbon bonnet and decent kit for it must mean it's at least mildly popular.

Toyota Landcruiser 4.7 "Cygnus" (the Lexus version in AU?) with all the fruit. That dude on the little motorbike thingy are a dime a dozen too.

One for Troy... Evo 7 in it's home environment... chugging around at 50km/h stopping every 100m for the traffic lights. Sweet, I love 'em though. Probably the only other car I'd look at other than a Skyline.

What are the chances of seeing a Y33 and Y34 Gloria side by side on the street? They weren't friends either... the Y33 came up real quick the overtake the Y34 on the right side.
