Tokyo Prt 3.

Guess what. It snows in Tokyo. It only snows about 5 days a year though. This mornings snow was awesome. Big fat fluffy snow flakes.


We went on a tour of tokyo this morning. It was good having some information on the places we were visiting for a change. The guide was a very funny japanese guy. He had a lot of great anecdotes. some of them were about the places we were visiting, but a lot of them were about Japan, Japanese people, religion and philosophy.

Alex in a Snowy Shinto Shrine near the middle of Tokyo. Its amazing that they have such a huge reserve in the middle of a place like Tokyo. I think its about 77 hectares--
This is what snow looks like.

Flic was starting to get a Migraine at luch time so i took here back to the hostel. The other lovegroves are still out on the tour. Maybe they will have some more photos to check out.

Dear old Alexey, you know what? JapanBox doesn't make me melancholy at all! That photo of you and Maruna filled my cold robot heart with an isotonic lubricating fluid and happiness.

The moth film *is* going to be our Honours Project. I would have liked to do Guernica but there's already so much of the moth film already developed so to waste that would be, well, a waste.

As for my thesis, hoo hoo, woah mamma...

In other news I had my first day of internship at Moket. I'm not getting paid (yet) but so far so good. I spent the day drawing concepts for their upcoming website change. But I've said too much. ;)

Best wishes, say hey to Flic. Ja mata ne.
