[Tom_Green]

Hi guys.
I made around 1300 pics

I will start to upload them after my Dubai pics.

I had 8 days full of sakura. It was beautiful.
But the next time i will stay in Kyoto. This city is more interesting.

One day was better than the day before.
The small skyscraper fan inside of my was not satisfied but what i have seen concerning culture is more than i have ever expected. I love this country much more than before. The culture fascinates me .

But some questions about Osaka.
Could it be possible that Osaka is hit much more by the recession than Osaka? I have seen much more homeless people than in Tokyo.
Is the fashion in Osaka different. Many girls there looking like cheap bitches.

I have new pics from my second trip this month

Let me top my Tokyo trip pics with my Osaka trip pics
I was in Osaka, Nara, Kobe and Kyoto.

Let me begin with Osaka. The pics are in order

This is the view from my hotel room. I`m on the 5th floor.






I took this pic from the entry of my hotel. It`s in the middle of patschinko heaven


This is the Namba station. It is the next station to my hotel. It has 33 underground entrys. I lost myself even on my 5th day >_<


I was very lucky with Sakura. I had it all 8 days long


Beautiful isn`t it ?


A small shrine near my hotel.


The view from the Osaka World Trade Center. This building is 252m tall. But the observation on top was under renovation. So i could use only a room 3 floors under the top.


The Osaka skyline isn`t really impressive. The second tallest building is 200m tall. But i was satisfied with skyscrapers during my stopover in Dubai


The big red bridge was a real surprise. I never seen it before.


The view on this day was not the best, but the sun was shining.


I have a question about this pic. Do you like it? I am not sure if taking such pictures is nice for the viewer.


The streets around the WTC are very empty, but nice looking.


The Osaka WTC. Somehow it seems that this building stands on the wrng place. They should build it in the city center and not on the edge of the city.


I took this pic from a very large observation wheel. I was very afraid of the high. >_<


Sakura again.


Japanese celebrating a free day, the spring, the nice weather and sakura




I am glad i use only the public transport and don`t drive a car in Japan

[Dennis]

OMGOSH GREAT PHOTOS!

[Kaplan]

Some nice pics here!!

[Tom_Green]

The second half of day one.
I travelled to Osaka castle and in the night again to Osaka WTC.






This was really cute. The small kids performed a play.


Osaka Castle


This was a holiday in Japan and the castle area was full of people.








The skyline in Osaka is not very impressive but right now are more than 10 buildings over 150m under construction.


Osaka Castle has an observation floor. I was the only stupid person that walked the 8 floors to the top.










The show from him was very nice


Sakura


During my last trip to Japan i was not abel to make night pics.
The pics are from the Osaka WTC




The second diggicam makes the better night pics but has only 3x optical zoom.

[SEED]

[Tk101]

Thanks.

For the most pics in during the day i use a HP Photosmart 850 and for the most night pics i use a Kodak EasyShare CX7525.


Today is a holiday in Germany so i have time to ulpoad
Here is part one of day 2.
I spent this day again in Osaka.

Early in the morning. The streets are empty.


My favorite motive, a shrine.


I love Japan but this love is not a blind one. I can see the ugly sides, too but i still love this country.




During this trip i learned the difference between a shrine and a temple. This is a temple.




That`s the probleme with pictures, you can`t see the movement. You can`t see that the cheery bloosems falling and the child runs to catch them. But i hope you can imagine it






This is the 4000th pic fom the HP Photosmart 850.


This is a shrine.






My next stop for a overview of the city.












Something beautiful inside the urban chaos.

It's kind of a crime to visit Japan with two non-Japanese cameras, don't you think so?

Sakura is beautiful, i don`t think there is a other country in the world with such amazing cheery bloosom.

If this would be a crime they would kill me, the small cam i had during my first visit wasn`t from a Japanese company, too

Its time for new pics.
This is the second half of day 2.

More people should write, all pics on one page is much, even for DSL `


I was on this rollercoaster but i was the only one



The center of Osaka


Umeda Sky Building






170m over ground.


In Japan is space very rare





Osaka castle




12 buildings over 150m are right now under constrcution in Osaka.


Guess who this is


You shouldn`t be afraid of high when you go to the top of the Umeda Sky Building.


Nice




No comment



First small highlight in my thread.


Near Osaka Castle.


At first i was disapointet because so many people walked through my pic but i think the "ghosts" are okay.

You did it again Tom I like your ghosts

But somehow it seams that Osaka is not so interesting for the people in this forum. My Dubai pic thread was much more popular.

I hope this will change after my Nara pics *g*

[lakegz]

Well i certainly enjoyed them Tom. Any peek into Japan is extremely pleasing to me.

[Tk101]

tom- your gallery is excellent can you do one of nagoya or Tohoku? if its possible, ofcourse
i wanted to compare the universities and the surrounding areas!
the U of Nagoya and the U of tohoku.
