As some of you may know, I spent the last two-and-a-half weeks in Japan. I had a blast, and I took a ton of pictures. I thought it would be nice to share a few of my pictures with GT, so here they are! The pictures were taken at a variety of locations, although most of these are from Sado Island, which is located just off the western coast of the Japanese mainland. Enjoy! If you have questions about the locations/subjects of any particular pictures, feel free to ask.

Wow, VERY beautiful!

Gorgeous pictures, Eggman!

Those are really amazing photos. Nice job Eggman!

I'm very jealous that you got to go to Japan, you lucky walrus you.

Brilliant photos, glad to hear you had a blast.

That looks like it would have been amazing! I really love the gardens they have over there...

Amazing photos !

Fantastic pictures! The camera quality is first rate.

Very nice photos! What game's the playing field in the second picture for?

Robot Baseball. This is Japan after all.

HAHA, I could see that!

Pshaw. What self-respecting robot plays baseball on an oval?

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure. I think it's used for several different sports. That picture was taken at an elementary school. We went to two elementary schools that day in the same school district. I know that at the first school, they had a soccer field. I think there are definitely lines for soccer on the field pictured here, but I don't know what the rest are.

An interesting side-note on sports, at the university we were based at, there was an American football club. The first day I was there, I looked out a window of the music building and saw a team practicing football down on the fields. I watched for a few seconds, then thought to myself, "wait...that doesn't belong here!"

Verry nice pictures indeed. I especially like the variety of the lanscapes. Looks like you really had a nice trip

Awesome images! I love Japan and have learned a lot from watching movies like shogun. I can talk to hibachi chefs now

Great pics! Im watching The Last Samurai in my social class, should be a good video. Is the first picture a rice field?

Yes, it is a very good movie indeed, even if it has Tom Cruise.

Those are some very amazing pictures, looks like it was quite the trip!

Yep. You can find rice paddies literally everywhere you look. In large expanses of flat land in rural areas, they will spread out as far as the eye can see. Even riding the train into Tokyo or driving up the sides of mountains you can find the occasional paddy crammed into an unused patch of land. It's really quite amazing.

Very nice photos, gotta love the third and the ninth one
