A Fair is a Veritable Smorgasbord

Not much in the way of an actual post this time around. I'd like to get back to doing those regularly, and it is something I plan on doing. For now, though, I thought you might like to see these:


This is every picture I've taken since I've come to Japan. And I do mean every picture. You can expect to see lots of dark, blurry, out-of-focus pictures as you peruse these albums. Sorry about that, but when you've got so many pictures to go through, going through and sorting them becomes kind of a daunting task. There are a bunch of pretty good ones in there as well, so take a look if you're so inclined.

But that's not all!

I also went ahead and uploaded all of the videos I've had sitting around on my computer since christmas vacation . What this amounts to is a video of a train, and then a bunch of footage from an aquarium; don't ask me, it seemed like a good idea at the time.



As I stood among the ruins of the once-great Tsuwano Castle, I heard clattering, as a great thunder, come from below. I cast my gaze down upon the lands before me and beheld this magnificent contraption.




This one is pretty self-explanatory.




I have no idea why, but the glass made everything inside look green from the camera. The voice you hear explaining the intricacies of penguin familial relationships is the English teacher at one of my schools. I spent the day in Osaka with her and the music teacher and it was a blast.




This thing was huge. Like, Andre the Giant huge.




This creature is referred to as Jinbei. That's either its name or the Japanese word for whale shark; I'm not sure which.




I wonder how many scuba divers are impaled every year by penguins who aren't paying attention to where they're going.




Not much to this one. Hope you like turtles!



Watch this. I promise it is not strange or horrifying at all!




More animals should glow.


Well, that's all for now folks! Stay tuned.
