Tempels tempels tempels...

...maar daar gaan we jullie natuurlijk geen foto's van sturen, want dat is saai!
Wel zijn er foto's van:


vertraagde treinen (!!!)


Het uitzicht op hotel Chuo vanaf de voordeur van ons hotel


de hoofdattractie van alle schoolkinderen in Kyoto (beter bekend als Daan en Richtje, alias die lange en die nog iets langere)


en tot slot Little Paris aan het kanaal van het path of philosophy, inclusief Edith Piaf, maar dat zie je natuurlijk niet op een foto.

Kortom, het is hier heerlijk (weer).

Liefs,

Daan en Richtje

Hayaku: A time lapse journey through Japan


Hayaku: A time lapse journey through Japan  
by Brad Kremer

" Japan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. This is my Japan. This is one of the many reasons why I love Japan. I shot this in many locations around Japan in the summer of 2009. Some of the location include Tokyo, Matsuyama, Imabari, Nagano, Gifu, and Ishizushisan.

I started this as a personal project to try and capture the beauty that I see in Japan. It started as just that...

But now that I have finished, I see it only as a beginning. This video, along with SAIJO MATSURI www.vimeo.com/7458088 is just the start of a much larger project that I have now decided to do.

So I hope you enjoy this preview of what is to come in the future. "

Richtje en Daan in Tsumago

Hoi Familie!

We wilden graag onze tijd in Tsumago met jullie delen. We hebben heerlijk geslapen in een Ryokan, met uitzicht op de tuin met Koi-karpers en 's avonds een vijf-gangen diner (incl. wespenlarven). Tsumago was prachtig. Vandaag in Nara hertjes konten en honden zien bijten. Morgen naar Kyoto!

Kus,

Daan & Richtje

My sister following in my footsteps

My sister is in Japan now.After all my stories she and her boyfriend Daan just had to see it. (Well in all honesty I wasn't the only one to tell them, Daan's sister is in Japan for an intern ship, or something like that I think).
Today I got this brilliant picture in the mail, with the following Caption:
"Schijnen hier een goed metrostelsel te hebben! Niks van gemerkt..."
(Translated to English: "Apparently they have a good metro system here! Didn't notice any of it...")
:)

Have fun sis (you too Daan)!!!

In the background you can see Tokyo tower. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. As to be expected from the Japanese, Tokyo Tower is 9 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower :D

Riding a bicycle in Tokyo, stay on the sidewalk though!
As for storing your bike:
