Nara...
No matter how many times I've visited Kansai, or how long I've stayed in Japan, I still had never been to Nara! So after many friends telling me to go, I made the long awaited trip via Kyoto! To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from Nara, but it definetly exceeded all of my expectations! Hopefully I can return to explore it more soon!

Kyoto...
Staying in Yokohama is always great, and close to Tokyo, and Fuji, but in reality, thats about it! Staying in Osaka opens up much more options to explore all of Kansai. Easy and close access to Kobe, Nagoya, Mie, Nara, Okayama, on to Hiroshima etc, and of course Kyoto! So next on my list was Kyoto... abusing the great JR Pass while I still can, Kyoto is only 15mins away on the Shinkansen!
I have always wanted to go here for years and photograph the many Torii Gates that make up this shrine 'walkway' built on Inari-San! Unfortunatly it was raining alot with the typhoon closing in, so I had to make the most of it! Here's the view along the walking trail, inside the 'tunnel' still dry even if raining! Hopefully next time is sunshine!
Osaka Castle...
Making plenty of free time, so thought I'd check out some more of Osaka, especially some of the cool places I hadn't been to before. So off with some friends to visit the recommended Osaka Castle!
Then you get to see this great view of downtown Osaka, and towards the Port! Awsome! Of course I was standing at the top chattin' to lil Moko on the phone haha, this was the view I was explaining!

Need For Speed: SHIFT
Been playing the new NFS for a few days now, and im quite surprised how good it is. Of course it's not REAL, and all the haters will complain about every little inaccuracy or glitch in the game, but overall its good arcade style fun gaming, thats what matters to me!
Starting to really get into it. The game opens up alot more as you progress, and get into higher levels of tuning. The fine setup and tuning is VERY good, and has a very realistic affect on the car, just the same as real life settings. For now I built the '86 replica, my old 180sx, and currently racing Career mode with my Nur R34 GTR!

Truck Time...
Just another quick update from the weekend. The show in Belfast wasn't just for cars, it was also host to a Truck Show. Interesting... To be honest I didn't think I would enjoy seeing them so much, but how wrong was I?! The work, presentation and attention to detail in these Trucks is simply amazing, and that's why I enjoyed them so much. It's something I can relate to (not just in cars) in everything I do in life...Just a few photos, now I'm wishing I took some more!
The attention to detail was amazing on the 'Joey Dunlop' tribute. Stunning airbrushing and paintwork, custom parts and chrome trim, and even Carbon fibre wheel guards! Really have to appreciate this!
I especially liked this tribute to legend 'George Best': R.I.P
