\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A young girl chatting on the phone while standing next to a life-size print ad of AKB48 ( for NTT Docomo ) seemed too good a photo opportunity to miss. <\/p>\n

So I just returned from a 10 day trip to Japan and dare I say how universally stupid was I to choose the Golden Week to visit ? Traffic on the expressways were unbelievable, the weather, which should have been of a pleasant, Spring like nature, was instead belching out a dampening mix of torrential rain on some days, scorching desert sun on others, topping off with a climatic tornado. I was down with a bad cold and then fever for the last 3 days of the trip.<\/p>\n

Despite all these mishaps I did manage to take a size-able collection of pictures ( quality yet to be determined, ahem ), had my fill of Tokyo food and of course, the Otomo Genga Exhibition<\/a> was divine. I must of course once again thank my good friends Takeshi & Kojima<\/a> for being the best hosts, as always.<\/p>\n

Regular posting will resume momentarily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,10,14],"tags":[955,1677,1673,304,34,1676],"class_list":["post-6536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-japan","category-photography","category-travel","tag-akb48","tag-japan","tag-photography","tag-shinjuku","tag-tokyo","tag-travel"],"yoast_head":"\nGirl On The Phone With AKB48, Shinjuku Station, Tokyo. -
