seems a little hyper critical for a personal blog. especially since you update so rarely!

Comment on Take More Pictures by Lizz

What a lovely find–was your father excited to find out that you’d found the lost photos?

I agree entirely! I’m usually the only person that carries around a camera (less so in the past few months, but I used to have a reputation for it). When I’ve taken a bunch of pictures at an occasion, people usually act annoyed/avoidant at the time, but then months/years later, when they see the photos again (either by stumbling across them or looking back through them), I ALWAYS get comments about how happy they are to have those photos, how much they love them, etc. I think that generally, people underestimate the significance of photography, period (both the effort behind artistic photography and the candid photography that captures special moments)–it’s a technology that is so readily available (hello camera phones!) that it ends up being overwhelmingly taken for granted.

[...] Turns out I picked well. While this isn’t the cheapest hotel in Tokyo, by a long shot, you can bank on the rooms being clean and reasonably sized. This means you have enough room to walk around your bed on all sides. Americans may find the hotel rooms to be small compared to your average Holiday Inn. You’ll know what to expect if you’ve stayed in the heart New York or San Francisco. More here deadfrank.com [...]

I have the 3rd edition of that book. It saved my ass more than a couple times. Unlike my umbrella, I never left home without that book.

Sadly, I don’t think that’s engrish, just industry jargon.

Comment on Fun Japan Fact: Trash Cans by neil

Yeah, quite frustrating if you have a bit of plastic to dispose of – you will find recycling bins and burnable bins quite often, but non burnables – not so often (but they do have them at some conbini. I have heard that non burnable trash is ALSO burned, but hotter. Really though, I would trade an abundane of trash cans for the on street vending machines in a heart beat!
