It seems that walking cats is a not-so-uncommon past-time in Japan.
First I saw the following (while walking in the forest down from the top of Mount Takao (高尾山) no less):
Then spotted in Shijuku a few weeks later:
Seen on the way to my first day of work in Tokyo:
After many years of thinking about it, I’ve finally made the move and started work in Japan. I’m working for an american investment bank in Tokyo (right near Tokyo station), so I won’t be speaking too much Japanese at work, but hopefully I’ll get to practice a bit.
Here’s the view from my temporary accommodation in Roppongi. That’s Tokyo tower in the background.

Taken at the same location as my rickshaws photo, and also available in my redbubble portfolio.
This photo was taken at Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Penang on my (not-so-recent) trip to Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand in November last year. The blue color was created using the crushed petals of a local flower, in an attempt to match the original 19th century color. The mansion was recently restored, and is now a functioning guest house and is open for tours. It was also used as a setting for the movie ‘Indochine’.
PS: I know the photo is small. I will eventually get a photo gallery set up with a larger version (and some more photos!).
Update:A full-size version of this photo is now available for purchase!

Here’s a couple of pictures I took that night.
