    I visited the Meija Shrine inner garden. It is a very large traditional Japanese garden in the heart of Tokyo.

  • Kakuun-Tei

    I visited the Kakuun-Tei (tea house) in Tokyo. The original building was destroyed during World War 2. The current house is a reconstruction built in 1958.

  • Tokyo Tower

    The Tokyo Tower is an ugly looking beast during the day. But the hideous orange monstrosity turns into a beautiful golden structure once the lights fire up later in the evening.

  • Meija shrine girls

    It is common to see girls dressed in traditional Japanese dresses at the Meija shrine in Tokyo. These nice girls let myself and some Australians I met in the crowd take their photo.

  • Virgin pilot

    Ever wondered how bad someone looks the first time they fly a plane, and without any instruction? Well here’s my rather pitiful attempt. I crashed it again about an hour after this clip was taken and am about to go buy some replacement parts this afternoon to repair the damage! Fingers crossed my flying improves soon 🙂

  • Rainbow Bridge

    View of the Tokyo Rainbow bridge. I took the photo from the Tokyo Tower.

  • Hjelp fra Jan

    I had Jan check over some sentences I wrote which I knew were incorrect. Here are the results.

    My version …

    Jeg har blitt veldig opptatt hele uke.
    Jeg skal ikke blir så opptatt nå.

    Jan’s improved version 🙂

    Jeg har vært veldig opptatt hele uken.
    Nå fremover blir jeg ikke så opptatt

    At least I can tell when something is wrong, even if I can’t work out what 🙂
