STL DPB On The Road: Japan - Hiraizumi

.
October 24: We’ve spent the last four days in small towns and a mountaintop Shinto shrine complex. No Internet. There doesn’t seem to be any WiFi in this country, either. I’ve seen only one other person using a laptop in public. In any event, Hiraizumi is a small town with some very famous temple complexes. They are quite beautiful but there’s not a lot else to do here. Above, a scene from one of the temples.

BONUS: THE BEST ENGRISH JAPANESE TEE SHIRT FOUND ON THIS TRIP.

S.T. , IT's supppose to be for quiet reflection and relaxation, not loading 1,000 photos! YOu are a piece of work. These photos are wonderful but I agree the color's not right and your photos are never "off". Let's get a class action suit against Blogger!!!!! Will you represent us?

I just love Japanese English!

This is a great catch. You're really covering all the bases here, ST. I'm impressed.

The Japanese absolutley murder English in any number of ways. They have/had a pretty lax attitude about pornography and sometimes I would be in a youth hostel and find some pretty risque stuff with incredibly hilarious captions and dialogue. But t-shirts like the one above were my favorite.

PS Virginia needs help unraveling my picture puzzle. Maybe you can help her out.

It's Run DMC lyrics, not "Engrish".
