Here’s a quick little tour of the area around my home. I am loving living here.

Of course there are vending machines. I love vending machines. In Australia I was always forgetting to bring a drink with me when I go out walking etc. Here, it’s something I don’t really need to worry about. Not only are beverages cheaper here, there is usually a vending machine around somewhere. I haven’t seen any hot food vending machines here yet, so far only drinks, cigarettes and alcohol machines (which I suppose is also a drink machine).

Rice fields! There are rice fields in the smallest spaces between buildings. However, rice here is expensive.

A karaoke joint. Haven’t been here yet.

A scarecrow in the field

Japan has a lot of buildings that look soooo old and run down.
