I saw the Art of Star Wars exhibition, 8 foot Millenium Falcon model and all!! :D

On any night of the week, the banks of Shirokawa River are packed with pesky youngsters chilling out and setting off fireworks acquired from a nearby convenience store.

Mmmmmmmmm. Shadows and light.

A nice little park, where Kamogawa and Takanogawa Rivers converge.

Shoren Temple; Nice, but just like every other temple you've ever been to. Maybe I'm just jaded.

To describe Kyoto Station as anything less than stunning would be a tragic understatement. The architecture in the roof structure alone is mind-boggling. (Check out the window cleaner on the left.)

I was chilling on the roof of the station when next to me, I noticed that this guy was waiting while his girlfriend fixed the button on his damn shirt. Someone please gag me with a very large spoon.

The arcade version of the new F-Zero is awesome!! The music is loud and the seat swings back and forth so much that if you don't use the seatbelt, you'll probably slip right out of the chair. ^_^

OMFG!! I must be in Japan, people are still playing Street Fighter II in the arcades. :O

The last day of Japanese class.

Anne is a fellow JET from Fukuoka and just about the most photogenic little thing I ever did see.

I didn't think anyone would belive me if I simply told them how awesome Shimode-sensei's whiteboard explanations were. No room for misunderstanding after seeing this, boy!! (strangely enough, I'm being completely serious.)

Bad things happen when students go to karaoke. :O In this picture alone from right to left we have: an Italian, an American, a South African and a Gabonian who lives in France. Ahhhh, Internationalization™.
