    Just got back to Finland (home) yesterday from Japan. I was travelling around

    Japan for a month with my buddy. We went to a lot of places in the west and southwest Japan, including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Koyasan, Hiroshima, Fukuoka

    and Mt. Fuji. I had an awesome time in Japan and I'm prolly going there again

    next summer, got to know a lot of people and experience the culture. The last week in Tokyo was party 24/7 .

    So yeah, here's some of the photos I took during the trip.

    I used a Canon PowerShot A620 , 7.1 mp. (Re-sized the photos)

    One of the few buildings to survive the Hiroshima A-bomb.

    a photo of Amsterdam airport. Would have made an awesome

    photo but the reflection from the window kind of fucked it up.

    It is the only building - or better - it's the only one still standing. It is there as a memory monument - the second mem point is the glasboxes with the paper things in it...

    nice pictures none the less. i hope you don't take tokyo as classical japanese culture ^^

    The cam is a sexy beast as well

    I want to go there too, someday. Cool photos!

    How much did you spend money on that trip?

    I spent around 2000 euros (not including the flights, since I got them as a graduation gift). Japan was suprisingly cheap.

    The most money I spent on a hostel was 28 e / night. The most money I spent on a meal was 7 euros.

    You can get a nice dormitory bed for 15 euros and a bowl of ramen for 2e. Almost everything I encountered was cheaper than it's counter-part in Finland.
