Ciclothon again. With a twist. This weekend the Japanese had Reforma turned into an oriental fiesta, of sorts. Of course, sales are the primary drivers of these sort of events. Tourism, cars, restaurants, origami classes. That sort of thing. It’s all good fun though. I didn’t get an awful many photos, but I managed to capture a few Japanese Latinas (a brand new race I believe!) and some shots of the wrestling match.
I like Japan and Japanese things. I’ve never been there, but I suspect the cold, formal society would suit me. Perhaps the hours of work they like to put in less so. Along with Argentina, Cambodia and Tanzania, Japan is one of the countries at the top of my ‘must visit’ list. The language would be a confusing barrier, but I am often confused anyway, and enjoy jumping over barriers. Or going round them, as needs dictate. The handful of photo I did take are here.
Nice shot. But Tanzania??
Sure! The Serengeti, Kilimanjiro, Victoria Falls, that big famous crater, Zanzibar….
Good photos.
I agree, Japan is really an intriguing and interesting place.
I’d love to go to Japan too. I never thought of it as a cold society though, probably because of their rich social heritage.
Cold is hard to define. It´s the formality, skyhigh suicide rates and sense of misguided homour that has helped form my definition of cold!
