NFG World

I love MyOpera, but running my own sites keeps me too busy to update here. My apologies to all!

I've just spent five weeks in Japan, heading back to Australia tomorrow. I've been posting all kinds of photos and updates, which might, perhaps, be interesting.

The changing face of Akihabara - it ain't for gamers anymore.

Fun food and drink. I'm a sucker for new and weird foods.

Kuwagata (stag beetles) photos

Kabuto (rhinoceros beetles) photos

And for the story and other photos, here's the main thread, and some highlights:

* Photos en route to Izu

* The dense jungle of the Shimoda hillside

* Mantis + Miyamata stag beetle photos

* Japanese Jewel Beetle - gorgeous, metallic green!

* Miscellaneous insects - Dragonfly, butterfly, etc.

* Miscellaneous beach shots, etc

* Shibuya at night

Whew! Been a great trip so far. I don't want to go back.
