Looks excellent

I have a question which has been on my mind for AGES and maybe I should know...

Why do all Japanese girls do the 'V' sign in photos?

More to the point.. why are you doing it?

Thanks!

Haha! Only just realised you're doing it in all three!

Looks grand though. (Japan, not your flagrant hand gestures!)

Good point.

OK will rephrase - Tommy why are you doing the 'V' sign in every photo?

I always thought it was the Japanese copying the West (typically the USA) as it was considered a "cool" Western thing to do.

Sugoi! Random school girl store, is odd. Fishing with fire is cool! From a quicki wiki on Japan and the V sign. For me its always been an Anime thing.

Kyoto looks beautiful! Along with Fuji-san, it's on my to go list. Hopefully in October.

I'll still be in Japan for the first half of next year Pheebs, you should come.

As for the doing V sign, it's fun. You should try it!

I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagoya, it was very cool.

Whereabouts do JapanAir and Kamikaze Pigeon live? I don't really see them here on boat drinks very often, but if they're close or I travel near them I could see if they wanted to go out for some japanese karaoke or some drinks!
