| Page Views: 85 | Japan - Contrasts and Surprises by Wowmoment - last update: Aug 9, 2008 |
Rice is so important here it is so much more than a mere foodstuff. |
|  | Not quite sure when I would use it! Unusual to see this available in the Tokyo Fish market, Japanese people tend to shun spicy flavours, instead they prefer subtle and delicate. |
| | Mmmm, Bluebelly Yogult. Must give that a try! |
| | Lucky Charms Every shrine and temple offers the opportunity to purchase some good fortune.
Interestingly here 'Conception' costs 1000 yen while other types of luck, Happiness; Good Health etc cost only 500! |
| | Preparing for a Concert The future generation of talented musicians. |
| | Only in Japan! This is a table set out in a museum showing a Western place setting from the Dutch quarter of Nagasaki.
Only in Japan have I seen such a table set with fine china, glass and cutlery, plus plastic food! |
| | Leave shoes at the door. As in many place in Japan shoes are left at the door in order to protect the beautiful wooden floors and tatami mats.
Here we have thoughtfully been provided with clogs at this shrine so we can go into the garden. |
| | Bento Boxes The world's best packed lunch.
Very reasonably priced and available everywhere. |

Hi Cathy - thanks for visiting my Jaipur page. I was also fascinated by the Jantar Mantar Observatory. I believe that there are a few others in India - including one in Delhi - but Jaipur's is the largest. | eriksson977 Mon Mar 30, 2009 13:15 UTC

Yes- I know that feeling! I think that I fell in love with India when I was 10. BEFORE I ever saw it! |
