Observers at Kaiyukan (Osaka Aquarium).
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!
@Standley: Thanks Richard!

I guessed aquarium . . this gives a very strong feeling of being there. Like we have a place in the crowd. Effective shot.

This is great! The ambience from the aquarium is so soothing and peaceful and so cool with the contrasting and figures.

I was in such a darkened viewing place at Ocean Park, Hong Kong and the pickpocket struck. He only got my sunglasses though. I don't think that would happen in Japan.

@Steve Rice: I think you're right Steve. I'm surprised about Hong Kong though... I lived there as a child, and while Japan seems far safer, I never felt that kind of risk while I was there. Times change I guess...

My son was recently very disappointed --he didn't get picked for the JETS program and so far hasn't found a way to get employment in either Japan or China (he's studying both languages).

@Twelvebit: That's a real shame. I heard that with the economic situation, many schools in Japan are foregoing paying out for foreign English teachers at the moment - could this be related? He's obviously got important skills though and it's just a matter of time until he can find a position in Asia he likes...
