I arrived in Melbourne yesterday (Monday) at around midday .. and boy what a trip, Japan is an amazing place, there is so much awesomness .. from the modern technology, efficient public transport system to the beautiful Shinto Shrines and Buddhist temples .. it is really a fascinating country .. there's so much I could write, which I'll probably get around to in the next few days or so, but for now enjoy these selected photos! :D Posted Image Shibuya, Tokyo Posted Image Hachiko Statue, Shibuya Posted Image Great Buddha Statue, Kamakura Posted Image Asmio, Science Museum, Tokyo Posted Image Himeji Castle Posted Image Kinkakuji Temple, Kyoto Posted Image Maid outfit, Harajuku, Tokyo Posted Image Naughty Pay Per View Posted Image Akihabara Station Exit Posted Image Mt. Fuji Posted Image Takeshita Dori, Harajuku Posted Image Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Posted Image Anti littering sign This is only a very small selection of photos, I'll probably post some more things, once I get back into posting and things .. looks like this place is pretty busy these days .. though that could be the not visiting the site for a few weeks and seeing all these "new" posts :lol: Edited by borgster101, Jan 14 2009, 08:26 AM.

As for naughty pics .. I have others but they're too hot for the internet :P As for the pay per view .. nah I didn't "do it" .. I didnt exactly spend much time in the hotels .. but it was funny that only one hotel I went to had a pay per view service with the choice of, movies, sport and adult .. everywhere else the choices were; adult, adult and adult :lol: And here's some more pics .. with maybe naughty ones or something <_< .. dirty slashy :P Posted Image Some random poster in Akihabara Posted Image Skimpy outfit girls performing in Akihabara Posted Image Some games I got .. though the Wii stuff doesnt work on the AU Wii :P Posted Image Coudn't leave this sitting on the shelf :P Posted Image Japanese toilet Posted Image More pay per view content Posted Image Brochure handed to me by some promo girl Posted Image Cosplayers in Harajuku Posted Image Hot chocolate in a can - from a vending machine And here's a photo of me ...

Or is it still a requirement so you can dry yourself? What are they like? - Have you played any of Ouendan yet? Were the games cheap? - :lol: you seem to be surrounded by that adult pay per view content. Love hotels must be everywhere Quote: As for naughty pics .. I have others but they're too hot for the internet I told you to email them to me! Quote: so naturally you get stares. Woo, I need to go to Japan, especially for free tree hugs! Who's taking the photo in that one? I'd be able to confirm if it was you if you did a thumbs up :P -

I got my Yen at $1AUD = 85Y, so I actually made some money on the Yen exchanging it back to AUD .. Ouendan was around 4000Y, Tatsunko v. Capcom was around 5200Y and Captain Rainbow was an amazing 950Y!! :O Ali: The flight was around $2000 return to Tokyo Narita Airport. I booked months in advance when the dollar was better ;)

I'm not \forwardslash Posts: 13,764 Group: Moderator Member #167 Joined: June 7, 2004	Oh yes slashy, I forgot to answer your questions about the toilet. Yeah, it's a "washing your arse toilet". You basically press the spray or bidet button spray is more 'direct' and bidet is more 'spread out' ... it's warm water that washes the shit away essentially :lol: . There is still toilet paper, and you should use it just to dry yourself off, so yeah it's a method whereby less toilet paper is used, but more water is used. It was quite an 'interesting' experience the first time :P

You know I've heard Will Smith has one in his house and he says its the best thing ever (I think I was watching Oprah by accident) Did you take any photos of the huge game stores in high res?

I have no quarrel with you humans Posts: 4,172 Group: Moderator Member #288 Joined: January 29, 2005	If you hadn't posted a photo of yourself we could have just taken your drivers license photo from the background of that chocolate can picture, then zoomed in and enhanced it CSI style. Like this! Posted Image hmm doesn't seem to work like on TV...

Can you rotate the photo around 360 degrees so we can get a top-down perspective, then delete the bluriness? Edited by /backslash, Jan 15 2009, 02:11 AM.

I have no quarrel with you humans Posts: 4,172 Group: Moderator Member #288 Joined: January 29, 2005	That TV show Las Vegas had all sorts of bullshit technology for enhancing photos and videos. One time they were able to instantly colorise a black and white photo by 'analyzing the colour spectrum' and I think one other time they took 2 different angles from 2 different video cameras and 'converted to 3D' so they could look around the corner to see who a shooter was. They could also zoom in on any photograph for a high def image of something in the background. Edited by Stevorooni, Jan 15 2009, 06:34 AM.
