I intend to use these pictures for posts later to highlight certain things, but here’s your chance to see all the stupid poses and things I found awkward or funny about Japan during my trip.  Thought this’d be as interesting as a real post, so enjoy!

Please remember, you can use the image gallery browse tool by clicking a picture and then hitting next picture to make the large browse easier for you.  There’s plenty of things I found entertaining if you look closely at some of the pictures!  My favorite pictures here are of a Korean favoritism protest against a TV station I ran into.  It showed what the people are really capable of, regardless of the content they were protesting.
