Before going on the trip, I had found information about a fabulous bath house, basically across the street from where we were staying. My original intention was to go there every evening.

I did not waste any time. I convinced June to join me on the first night. We put on the ryokan's yukata and went out into the rainstorm to the bath house. The bath house Daikokuyu sentou, as you can see by the pictures, is beautiful. The only reason I did not feel like returning the other evenings was that the water temperature was truly scalding. We came out red like lobsters. This was not my first time to Japanese bath houses, so I was expecting it to be hot.

Sentou are different from onsen, the latter ones are hot springs. Please learn more about sentou here.

This picture reminded me of June and I fighting the wind and rain in our yukata after the bath on our way back to the ryokan. It was hard to keep a yukata properly closed in such a situation.

This picture is for Tommy, Ian and Milo. During a memorable lunch in Nikko, Japan, we had a discussion about Tanuki, a Japanese animal. I was informing them about the mythical properties of the tanuki that appear in Japanese folk tradition. But they had doubts about my tales. I promised them an illustration that I found at

And so if you look carefully...

These manga images are from Ando-Natsu (I think). They represent Naka-mise street in Asakusa after the store have closed. These pictures remind me of the afternoon after we went to visit Bandai. Many of us went back to Asakusa. At that time some of the stores were closing. I took a couple of picture of the closed store fronts because I thought they were amazing.

Vampires in modern day films

2009-06-18T03:41:00.001-07:00

Shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural have altered the original context of Bram Stoker's original vampire; Dracula. Thevampire in our more modern has become more comical and relaxed in how he/she has been portrayed in both television shows. Vampires now have a more accepted presence in society where as Bram Stoker's original Vampire was seen as more of a creature to be feared and hunted by man.

In the film Twilight, Bella Swan (human) and Edward Cullen (vampire) fall in love as Bella goes past the Vampire traits in Edward, as she has fallen in love with him. Bella says in the film "Your a Vampire", but later expresses that this will never change anything about how they feel about each other. The vampire has evolved over time to become someone that human mortals can fall in love with and live happily ever after, so it moves away from the antagonist perception to a more protagonist view. However there is still a minority that exists where there bad vampires in existence this is evident in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, where Vampires act both as good and bad

Taman Yang Kreatif,, wah,,, KeYen...

Betapa kreatifnya orang yang membuat taman ini, jadi tidak terlihat seperti taman-taman yang pernah Anda lihat kan?

Anda pasti sering berjalan-jalan di taman, tapi kalau Anda datang ke tempat yang seperti ini jadi terasa lebih berbeda lagi, karena ditemani oleh tanaman yang unik dan kreatif. Tapi pasti membutuhkan perhatian khusus juga, untuk terus merawat taman seperti ini.

Mungkin di setiap taman perlu membuat taman yang seperti ini, supaya orang-orang tidak mudah membuang sampah atau mengotori taman. Karena taman itu tempat untuk bersantai bersama keluarga atau teman.
