It was amazing to see building disapear in the smog. This was one of our last days and is the last photo of our amazing March holiday. :)  Posted by Picasa
The entrance to the zoological park. We got stuck in this park and it poured for like an hour. Posted by Picasa
This photo was for my Mum as she's obsessed with taking photos of weddings when she's away. I took this picture as 5 brides were getting married in the gardens! Posted by Picasa
The fish street up near the Ladies Market was amazing. I think we spent the whole morning looking in all the fish shops.  Posted by Picasa
One of the many ferry's. It was so cheap to get from one side to the other. This was our first day in Honkers and it was the clearest even though it looks really smoggy. Posted by Picasa
Our last part of our trip!! Honkers!!! I loved Hong Kong it was safe, easy to get around and great food and shopping! I love this piccie of Andi doing the Bruce Lee pose along the Avenue of Stars. Once he did this it set off a chain reaction of everyone else doing it! Someone later on asked for a photo with him. Posted by Picasa
This is overlooking Tokyo and if you squint really hard you can see a peak of snow and that is Mt Fuji! ;) Posted by Picasa
Tokyo Tower... it was very daggy inside... but great views! Posted by Picasa
My mind has gone blank... I'm thinking Shibuya but I can't remember... Good shopping around this area! Posted by Picasa
Haven't updated in ages. I didn't want to get too close to this lake near the zoo... you know because of bird flu and all that. I think it's great photo that Andy took! Posted by Picasa

Kyoto, Tojji Temple This is the family of cats. We stood and watched them for awhile and they had a few fights! Posted by Picasa
Kyoto, Tojji Temple At the entrance to the temple was a family of cats. People were patting this white cat who seemed the friendliest. Posted by Picasa
Kyoto, Tojji Temple. This temple was pretty amazing you can't go into it but it's very tall. Posted by Picasa
Kyoto, Nijjo Castle This is looking down on the castles from a lookout. We went into the castle that you can see and went upstairs it was freezing I don't know how people would of coped living in it. Posted by Picasa
Kyoto, Nijjo Castle. The grounds of the castle were pretty cool with the big pond and waterfall. Posted by Picasa
Kyoto, Nijjo Castle. It was freezing the day we went to the castle but it was one of my favourite days. The castle was amazing I especially liked the nightingale floors that squeaked to warn intruders. We weren't allowed to take photo's of the artwork on the walls inside but it was amazing that most of it had been preserved. This photo is the outside of one of the castles. Posted by Picasa
This is a really blurry picture and I wanted to take it home but thought I better not. It's got this picture of a squirrel with a plastic bag over its head and it shows steps how to put a plastic bag over your head. I thought it was weird but pratty worked out that if there was a fire then you would get as much fresh air as you could in the bag and then get to the quickest exit.  Posted by Picasa
