Okay folks,
I've been on a PSP7 tirade recently and managed to pop out some nicely cropped and edited photos. I felt like I should share them becuase they're from my once in a lifetime trip to my dreamland, Japan ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_veryhappy.gif)
The pictures themselves are old, but I've put a bit of a spin on a few of them...Enjoy!

These are really great pictures, I love how they've been cropped to focus in on the details! *daydreams* I especially like the one with the the trees. It's very green. ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_giggle.gif)

Hehehe,
Thanks so much! And yes, I was very lucky and fortunate to have gone to Japan. But now that I've had a taste, I want to go back![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_smile.gif)
It's going to be a long time though, but I'm going to spend some quaity time there if I ever get to go back.

No, not much
We were there for only 9 days though...However, I did pick up some intense cultural habbits; like bowing. It took weeks for me to stop once I got back home! In actuality, I didn't want to stop because I think it's really respectful, but you know... ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_laugh.gif)
And I'm going again, just depends on when! I've got to pinch my pennies and I'll go for longer the next time, and I'll stay in Kyoto. It was the greatest

No, they weren't *kicks up dirt*,
And we couldn't really see Fuji either; only two of us on the bus caught a glimpse of the upper half of it. I was so lucky! It's amazing to think there's this massive land formation out in the distance that you CAN'T SEE. All the more reason I need to go back to see it in all it's glory

I saw Fuji on the first day in Tokyo but then it was cloudy and rainy the rest of my stay. So I know how you felt.

I hope to move to Japan and become a Manga artist when I graduate; however, I'm having trouble thinking of a good idea for a Manga right now, and I almost stink at drawing.

Miles and miles of trees without a building in sight. Oh, how I could dream of places like that. The Japanese are really into respect, some great habbits but I'm not so sure how long they'd last in this culture. What a shame.

Wow, I may be new and you may not know me but I would like to say truly beautiful! Those pictures are of beauty and grace, peace and tranquility and i think everyone would agree!
Don't be sorry, Be different! The whole world is sorry.

Thanks so much everyone!
And kookoo; I've had that dream in my head for a while now too I'm thinking about doing a stint of Peace Corps. work in China once I've got my nursing degree, and after that, I'd like to spend a year or so in Japan...Kyoto preferably Just with a host family, perhaps work at the local hospital. If you Google it, you can find all sorts of places which list host families and such...of course make sure they're reputable. I'm not ready to take that step just yet, but I'm sure itchin' to.
