This is the station to go to if trying to find Umeda Sky Building or the Osaka Gate Tower Building. Quite a difference from Piata Romana Metro Station, huh ?

Strange in Japan – Plain and Simple

Posted in Travel with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 10 December 2010 by Watcher Romano

Today’s post in the “Strange in Japan” series does not have a particular subject. It contains a few bits that made me scratch my head, once with admiration, once with surprise  and once with shock. I’ll let you guess which one is which:

Pedestrian Barrier

High Tech Sushi Place

High Tech Sushi Place - RFID tags for billing !

Innovative Sushi Place

Innovative Sushi Place - Antitheft locker that takes no space out of your small restaurant !

Department Store - Intensely lit and with a huge volume of information

With this post, the series ends. Next post will be as usual showing beautiful or interesting things, but not ‘strange’ . Check back frequently or take advantage of the wonders of technology (via RSS or email ) to be informed automatically whenever I post new content.

Osaka Skyline by Night

Posted in Travel with tags , , , , , , , , , on 15 November 2010 by Watcher Romano

As I have mentioned last week, I attended the JCI World Congress in Osaka, Japan. Beyond the great conference, I was also able to get some nice photos. Looking down from the rooftop observatory of the Umeda Sky Building, I had a feeling I was in Gotham City. I’ll let the photos do the talking for me:

Osaka Skyline by Day

Posted in Travel with tags , , , , , , , , , , on 10 November 2010 by Watcher Romano

I have just returned from Osaka, where I have attended JCI‘s 2010 World Congress. It was a very interesting experience, but this is a travel photography blog, so I will not talk much about the actual conference.

On the other hand, I think there will be a number of photos from Osaka, because the of the huge culture difference to what we are used to. I think it’s worth a look. Today we’ll start with the similarities: they also have blue skies and white clouds :-)
