Nagoya to Osaka

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 | By george | Views [3361] | Video

My robotic hopes in Nagoya were sadly dashed by the fact that the museum closed recently due to lack of interest.  I can't believe that anyone would not be interested in a building full of walking and probably talking robots, but there we are.  I ... Read more >

Nara and Osaka

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 | By wick | Views [1690] | Comments [1]

The trains in Japan and reasonably easy to understand and relatively cheap so we took a day trip to nearby Nara. It bucketed down all day and we were soaked to the core by the time we got home. It was worth it though to visit Kohfukuji Temple ... Read more >
