Arigato gozaimasu Japan.
When i was a small boy, at school in France, everybody called my chinese. Later i was able to impose my true origins and my friends started calling me the Viet. When i finally got to Vietnam, vietnamese people first looked at me as a stranger from an indifinite country.
I should have been prepared, because sometimes people ask me if i am japanese or some travelling japanese tried to talk to me. I thought it came from the haircut and the camera. But as i landed in Japan, i soon realized i was totally melted in the crowd. I was definitly looking japanese and people kept talking to me as if i was. That was the weirdest feeling.
Furansujin desu. Sumimasen, shashin ii desu ka? I mostly stayed in Tokyo, the gigantic city where there are so many things to see, but i also could discover some other amazing places: Miyajima, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Kamakura.
Travelling through Japan and feeling so strange about everything that seemed so different, i think you can not immediatly realise how deep that experience goes into you. I will have to share a lot more later...
Be patient. Very few pictures now but a lot more to see in a few weeks.
