My last batch of photos wasn’t sent out by email, and I can’t quite find out why. If you’re interested, here’s a link:

Read MoreAround AIST
in photo-journal, Blog
I spent most of my whirlwind week in Japan north of Tokyo in a place called Tsukuba. It's known as Tsukuba Science City; a planned science park developed in the 1960s.

The autumn colours have all but disappeared from central Tokyo, though some remains aloft. Most leaves have long since fallen, and the weather's turned much colder this week. It really feels as though winter is coming.

This striking red building really stood out down the backstreets of Bunkyo, as I walked to meet Charlotte in Akihabara (click the photo for fullscreen). If it weren't for the メヂィアミクス研究所 laminated sign above the postbox, one may not expect this photo to have been taken in Japan. Incidentally, メヂィアミクス研究所 reads as "media mix laboratory" which is the name of this cute little company. When framing this shot, I didn't really care what this building was, I just wanted the photo. Now I can't help but wonder what's inside, behind closed doors.
