Japan, country of....

Electronic toilet seats with mis-aimed bidet settings that are very offputting when you're trying to use the great white telephone after a session with your old bosses from London...

People on streets giving out free hugs, great after the pub!...

Bullet trains without speedometers in the carriages.. Boo....

Old men dressed up as red fairies in Yoyogi Park...

Tiny little bars on hidden floors of buildings that seat about six people where the barmen don't quite grasp the concept of mixers with spirits...

The Park Hyatt Hotel, very posh indeed...

Shibuya and its manic street crossing, apparently the biggest in the world... Not to forget that street crossings have their very own jingles, much like the JR line. I still wonder if it's possible to buy a greatest JR line station jingle album in the world ever CD...

Hakoni with it's cable car, rope way, sulphur park and black eggs...

The Imperial Gardens and Tokyo Tower... Looks familiar, maybe like it should be in Paris...

Incredibly swanky internet cafes with private booths, leather setees and televisions...

Castles with very steep stairs where you have to wear undersized slippers to take a look around...

Pictures of Hitler advertising something in Tokyo station...

The worlds logest escalator... Not quite as exciting as it sounds...

As you can see, its a pretty awesome place, I'll have to head back sometime!
