Jamie, I'm not a fan of peppers or cucumber, but I'll tackle anything else !

I love all the sea-food that Scotland has, so I'm looking forward to what Tokyo can offer.

Thanks again guys, this has been great.

Did we get off the subject of photography ?

I'm sure we will get back to it !

I may be a miserable Scottish git, but I don't like hassle, so BA from 'Auld Reekie' to Tokyo.

My preference would be 'beamed' from my local, to the nearest Irish Pub in Tokyo.

( There is always an Irish pub ? )

I knew I would get fast and helpful responses here, thank you

Can't wait for the fancy 'dunny'

Us Scot's are used to the 'Midge', so bring on the beasties !!!

Cheers Jamie

Going via Edinburgh, Heathrow then Narita

Ha Ha, you can't beat Scottish shortbread, or "The Water of Life"

Better not try taking a Haggis with me, I could be locked up going through customs !

Thanks Steven, I had planned to stay in Tokyo for the first 4 - 5 days, more if it seduces me, I want to take it all in !

I do want to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I feel I can't go to Japan and not visit there.

It seems you have visited there before ? I'm planning, as a Scotsman, to wear the kilt on my travels, but I'm not sure if that would go down well, any thoughts ?

John.

I don't like holidays, and I'm a miserable tight fisted Scottish git, but I've had a shit couple of years, which I won't go in to, but I have decided to spent the kid's inheritance, and go to Japan for 3 weeks in September.

I will be back-packing most of the time, so will be travelling light, plan to just take the K7, 'fishy' and the Pentax 17-70, thought about my Samyang 85 - 1.4 or the Pentax 50 - 1.2 as I love them both, but they are extra weight on my back, any thoughts ?

Just thought, because this forum is so wide spread, someone could tell me of places I should not miss, or let me know of any places I should miss ?

Any ideas will be gratefully received.

John

All gone now.

I hope that everyone that got one is happy with it.

Some of the feedback suggests they are.

Think all may be gone now, Bob and Vic replied to, one last one pending.

I love this little beast.

Two of these Brand New, unused I-10's left.

They are in the White / Ivory format.

Buy here now, or buy for more on an auction site ?
