22:27:51 CHINA - The Exibition place.
22:28:07 CHINA - Franco and Lucy. Theya re among the nicest and coolest people that I know. When we are together the amount of shit that we manage to say is unbeliaveable.
22:28:54 CHINA - Me and Franco posing for some important newspaper in China
23:15:53 CHINA - This deserves some explanation. We went to a massage place, they gave us their own "yukata" to put on. Just before Franco was dressing up he found out that someone left a little present on the inside of the trousers. He eventually worse something else, but the experience is worth a million bucks!
02:33:41 CHINA - Man smoking what appears to be a wooden cigar...
01:59:35 CHINA - Thai restaurant. It was really nice lots of people, sounds, colours.
02:00:07 CHINA - More Thai restaurant.
02:04:13 CHINA - Ordering some food.
01:46:36 CHINA - Blurry picture,
03:31:31 CHINA - This is a restaurant where we went with Franco and a client of his. I will remember all my life that dinner as the client was rather unimportant and we basically took the piss out of him all night, a true experience of what NOT to do with clients.
18:01:32 JAPAN - Harajuku, entrance. The street is crowded with people trying to buy little souvenirs, trinckets, and stuff like that. A major place for youngsters.
18:15:39 JAPAN - As usual I went to pay my respects at Mejii Jingu.
18:17:21 JAPAN - Part of the ritual is to wasch your hands before entering.
18:36:31 JAPAN - Cosplay (Costume-Play). People near Meji Jingu dress up in strange costumes and just stay there to chat and be photographed by random turists.
18:37:24 JAPAN - More cosplay.
18:39:18 JAPAN - And again but from the bridge above the street.
18:39:25 JAPAN - This is where the Cosplay takes place, it's a brdge over the railways leading to Meji Jingu. All the cosplay takes place there.

03:00:00 NYC - A non defined piece of art inside the Cathedral.
03:05:36 NYC - Shot of the inside of the church.
03:10:41 NYC - The contrast between modern and old. Though this church will probably not be as old as European churches, you can clearly see the difference between the two !

03:22:47 NYC - The Plaza (right) and a nice skyscraper.
03:22:55 NYC - The Plaza, one of the most famous hotels in the world.
03:26:41 NYC - It was 6 in the morning, I was walking through Central Park, and this little suirrel was following me. Eventually my american colleagues told me that Central Park is very dangerous in the morning, so in a way I think that I was lucky to have just the squirrel following me.

03:49:12 NYC - Again Central Park, it doesn't look like NY here!
03:54:24 NYC - Nice obelisk near the lake.

06:05:56 NYC - John Lennon memorial. He was shot here.

09:48:24 NYC - The Rockfelle Center Again.

04:21:20 NYC - Trinity Church again.
04:34:37 NYC - The statue in honour of the immigrants who used to arrive in Manhattan.
04:34:45 NYC - This is taken from the pier where you get the boat to go to the Statue of Liberty.
04:43:36 NYC - The Statue from the distance.
04:48:00 NYC - This ball was on the top of the twin towers. When the structure collapsed it bounced here, where it now stays in memory of the attacks of 9/11.
05:35:01 NYC - Nothing special apart from the fact that when I took this picture a cop stopped me asking to show him what I have done. I showed him the picture, and he let me go, fortunately he didn't shoot before asking! Eventually I got to know that this is a federal building...
06:06:07 NYC - Little Italy!! Extremely disappointed by this part of New York, I was expecting something special but it didn't look Italian at all!
