I'm just going to vent here. My girlfriend is heading off the Hiroshima today, and Kure tomorrow, on a work trip for her company. In Kure, her job will be to take hundreds of photos of the new mueseum housing the 1/10 scale Yamato, and of course the ship itself. Why I didn't get to carry her bags I have no idea! The construction company she works for built the museum (or rather, had it built by others), and their office in Tokyo has a couple of large photos of the Yamato too. Their main office is in Hiroshima. Any bells ringing for folks who know about Japanese construction companies, Hiroshima, (and the fact that a local politician got her the initial job interview) .... ahem, well, I will not have to worry about my girlfriend being hassled by ordinary folks :-)
Still, the good news is that since Kyoto is between Tokyo and Hiroshima, she will be spending the weekend with me, and I will have a chance to upload some photos I hope! Should be better than those crap links to Nikon site pages which require you to be a subscriber...
Cheers, Gernot
