Back in Yokohama now.

So our travels around Japan are over it was an amazing 21 days.
Been home for about a week now and i have been sitting butt doing sweet f-all just playing playstation.So i have been pretty lazy not updating my blog, I have heaps more photos to go through from our trip so i'll put some more up soon however i think those were my best pics        ( Lightining was my fav :) ). Please comment under the pics telling me your favs because im going to put a photo book together which the photo shops make here they cost about 20-30$ and they are quite classy looking.We came in under budget for the trip only cost us about ¥140 000 each($2700) plus our rail passes ¥65 000 ($1200) so under 4 k for everthing is pretty good esp since our rail passes actually saved us about $2000 maybe more.
Most of the places we visited were packed with japanese tourists no matter what day of the week we went which made it hard to get photos that weren't full of people of course they are try to take photos, I have never seen so many cameras in all my life and most people here just use there cell phones as the quality is as good as most compact cameras.
The other thing about the tourist places is people go there who are learning english and they want to spend about 10 mins talking to you it gets annoying after a while. However i did have a few random conversations with people and prob the most interesting was in the first days of our trip. It was a public holiday here and we we found a small cafe to have a late lunch there was a couple of old guys in there who spotted me when i walked in "Konichiwa.. Konichiwa.. haro.. hello" they slurred out, they had been drinking there all day and were very pissed. Poor Kaori was try to eat lunch and understand what these guys were saying to translate it to me. It was made for an interesting lunch which we tried to eat in a hurry as it was kind of embarrassing.
