Fourteen THOUSAND? That's a lot for just one prefecture..... but then again, the Japanese never fail to amaze me.

its crazy that the architecture around there is able of using colors as bright and fierce as red, and still be able to look like very peaceful places. How the heck they do that ?
Anyway, its a great photo, it has a very cool depth feeling in it

heeeeman In reply to zerreitug [2006-12-24 10:15:30 +0000 UTC]

NIce observation, but red is a warm colour, and I guess warmth can also mean compassion and comfort. I dont know.

zerreitug In reply to heeeeman [2006-12-31 03:41:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that may explain it . Although because red its offently compared to blood and similar stuff, it still looks like a strange contradiction....

This image replaces another photo of yours on my desktop.

I think I will teach in Japan once I have my degree.

heeeeman In reply to levdir [2006-12-15 02:11:57 +0000 UTC]

If you do teach in Japan be careful not to apply for a job in an e-kaiwa school (Mcdonald like booths that supply english lessons to 1-2 students at a time) They are horrible to work for. A degree in any discipline will allow you to teach as an ALT in an actual school, most likely a Junior high or Elementary which is far more satisfying and rewarding, as your actually allowed to make friends, and I mean that literally. E-kaiwa schools have in their contract conditions that you don't make friends with your students.

I recommend the company I work for [link] they have a great reputation and from my experience they have been great to me.
