I spent some time in Japan recently to refresh. I think I needed it. I spent most of the time taking photos. Here are some of the pictures I took, they’re all up on flickr. My favourite part of Japan was definitely Kyoto, there I stayed at a beautiful guesthouse with a lovely host named Yashi. I also visited Takayama, an old country town in Gifu, and of course, Tokyo, city of the electric lights. With only a week there I packed a lot in, visiting so many temples and museums.
