I shot over 4000 photos on my trip with my new Casio Exilim EX- Z850 - great camera btw: 8.1 mega, 35-114mm lens, full manual (although aperture priority only gives you 2 options for any shot) . This video only has about 3,300 pics though. Enjoy.

(This video is actually better on YouTube viewed in the smaller size. No distortion or lag.)

Some of these pics available at my flickr account.

It’s been a week now since I’ve been back, and slowly I’ve been readjusting. The trip was amazing and I’d highly recommend Japan. The people are extremely nice and friendly. There are so many beautiful places to see. Hiroshima was an unexpected surprise and a must-see on par with Kyoto I think. And then there’s the food. Just be bold and open-minded. However, next time I’ll probably pass on the raw chicken.

I’m in the midst of moving to San Diego to start my fall semester at UCSD so I’m going to have to wait to summarize the trip, but if pictures speak a thousand words, then 4,388 pictures should say enough. Don’t worry, there’s only 1,300 and change on my Flickr site.

I do have a cool little memento of the trip I’ll upload soon so be sure to check back in the next couple days.

If you see any pics you really dig, rate them and I’ll create a ‘best of’ folder to spare people the misery of sifting through so many pics.

Cheers -
