the tall blond guy goes to japan

Hi, I'm a tall blond guy, and I've been sent to Japan for a while. As well as doing what I'm being paid to do, I'll be writing and taking pictures and building this little website. Kind of a fish-out-of-water thing. I've never been here before, and this place has always fascinated me. So, if you're planning a trip to Japan, you can consider this a very editorialized "Rough Guide" type thing, or if you're interested in the culture, this might be worth a read... or if you're just killing some time, this will make for some pretty good eyeball exercise. If you have any comments or just want to say hi, please drop me a line- my email address is jurgen@emit.com.

Nothing fancy here- everything I've written is listed below, just click on the thinger to go there. Oh- all the pictures were taken with a digital camera at 640x480 and scaled down to 320x240. If you'd like a copy of the original image, please let me know.

Thanks for dropping by! I'm back home now, and finally got around to fixing some of the broken pictures and stuff. I enjoy getting email about this stuff, so don't hesitiate to write with any comments.

Aregato Goziamasu!

PS- This website is managed really easily by Frontier 4, running on a PowerBook 1400. Helping out is Emailer, Photoshop, BBEdit, DeBabelizer and Netscape Communicator. Photos are taken with a Sony Digital Mavica.
