exploring the boundaries of space and language

ok, so i've found a new internet network to pilfer so long as i sit this certain way near the window. this position though causing a slight crick in my neck, allowed me to upload some more photos of life here. we go on walks almost every sunday, weather permitting, to explore our area and find cool things. this weekend's endevor was in search of a new place to buy household goods instead of contributing to the department store feeding frenzy. Basically, shopping at the local 'homever' is like shopping at walmart the week before Christmas all the time.
so we wandered around and found Nambu market. a lucky strike in this upscale area!
this is one of those lovely places that goes from shoes to fish to brooms to toys in about 40 feet. i would say it extended narrowly like this for about 3 big city blocks.
we also found some signs of the emerging spring weather.

So far we've thoroughly explored about 8 or 9 square city blocks and we still keep finding new things. There's never ending construction and things seem to be created and demolished in the blink of an eye.

The rest of these pictures are pretty much other random sites we've encountered, but i couldn't fit them into any sort of logical or poetic sequence. enjoy!

Hi guys,
Love these pictures! Shan, the corkers look like a craft project we would do at a Wild Women Weekend!!! I think we should suggest that! I'm also in favor of the bathroom "etiquette bell". Perhaps we in the west can take the idea one or two steps further and come out with our own "Smells Like A Rose Bathroom Air- Horn". Think it will catch on?

Our love and hugs to you both. We miss you. Keep the blogs and pictures coming!

What does an etiquette bell do, exactly?
