Ube, Japan
September 10th, 2007 06:53 pmI'm chillin' at Evan's apartment in Ube, waiting for him to get back from work and hiding from mosquitoes.
Damn foreign mosquitoes love white people. I wish they were more xenophobic.
I've a very, very few pictures up at flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10027325@N05/tags/japan/ (I can't make the kana keyboard do an equal sign, so copy'n'paste). There are a bunch more at Facebook, but I'd have to link to 'em one at a time. I've yet to find a photosharing utility I whole-heartedly like.
I got in late on the 8th, which was still the 7th for most people reading this. I AM IN YOUR TOMORROW! It's okay, robots haven't destroyed the planet yet.
Yesterday Evan and I rode to Takiwa* park and took pictures of the the sculpture there. Ube has a sculpture bienniel, and the winning piece is installed permanently in the park, while the others are placed elsewhere in the city. Place is filled with modern sculpture, it's absolutely fantastic. Lunch was Yakiniku at a restaurant in the park...yum.
*Evan's room-mate, Andrew, is very nicely letting me borrow his bike. It's a bright-red three speed with a comfy seat and a covered drive-train -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluwyngz would love it. No one here wears a helmet, but since everyone is riding these at five miles per hour, I suppose it doesn't matter much. I feel like my mother on one, which fits - Evan says the style of bike is called "mama-chari", short for "Mama Chariot."
