Cool Japan





As we near the end of our time in Japan, we thought we'd show a few of the other pics we took of various cool stuff.
1st up is a sign in our hotel foyer; as you can see, we think they want us for a meeting in the lobby?!
The 2nd is of a "Love Hotel", which you may have heard of. They are often themed hotels that hire out rooms by the hour, for the busy Japanese to have a "rest". They are mostly automated, to avoid human contact and any embarassment the guest may have.
The 3rd photo we took as we were walking down the street. It is of a man collecting his car from a car park. The cars were being moved around on this rotating carousel-type machine, until it got to the man's - very cool.
The last photo not only reminded us of home, but we thought it was pretty cool to have Posh staring at her husband Becks, in his pants from on top of a building.

That's it, I'm off to the 'Love Hotel!! Japan looks very cool, much better than I expected to me fair.

Well, I leave Vodafone tomorrow before we then go on 3 weeks to the South Island. We'll be taking your map and tips so thanks again - Arrowtown here we come ;-)

We are then in LA before going back to UK end Sept - so will catch up on your blog around then. Safe travels.
