Voting

A quick post about voting (mostly to vent frustrations). After a few days of trying to figure out what hoops I need to jump through to get registered to vote I have just come to the immensely irritating conclusion that it is not going to happen. Basically I need to get co-signed by a British, non-relative, also living abroad. There is no one within a many mile radius who I can get to do that. Bugger. No voting for me this time :(

For those reading this that do not have that excuse I say this -

GO VOTE

Register, do whatever you have to do, and go vote. Have your say. Please.

The one that got away....

I haven't done much in the way of tourism during my time in Japan. But that tourism I have done has tended to involve Castles. There is one Castle which I have been wanting to go to for a year or more now, it's close enough and very famous...

Himeji Castle is one of "the" Japanese Castles. It is also the most visited Japanese Castles. It is also closing its doors this month for 4 years worth of renovation. It was on the news today and is proving extraordinarily popular as people see it one last time before it disappears from the public eye (they will be covering it up with scaffolding and the like). Combine this with the fact that I will be returning home in a few months and my chances of seeing this one are pretty non existent.

And so it is with regret that I post this one under - "The one that got away...."
