(no longer) LOST IN JAPAN

Ode to the Fall...

I don't care what all you people in Canada say... JAPAN IS COLD!!! I know that outside is quite tolerable (it's only about -2 at night) but when I go inside my house, I expect it to be warm enough for me to be able to take off my coat. But no... It is below zero inside my house too! I can turn on my heater full blast and it's still cold. And since there is no heater in the "kitchen"/hallway/bathroom area, I can actually see my breath in those places... Coming out of the shower is the absolute WORST. Oh how I miss fiberglass and double-paned windows... The Japanese can build computers but they can't insulate a house... Am I the only one who sees something wrong with that?

So, in honour of my favorite season that is now behind me... and winter has taken over, here are a few choice pics from my fall leaf-viewing excursions (minus the Sunday I spent at Tanzan-jinja because I'm stupid and I accidentally deleted all those pictures from my camera before uploading them...)

OK, my internet is giving me issues but that should be enough to wet your appetite. I'll post more tomorrow...
