Japan Town

 

It was my last day in San Francisco today, and I headed over to Japan Town.


I hadn’t realised that it was the Cherry Tree Festival this weekend…

…so the whole place was a bit of a zoo, including…


…a rock band playing Taylor Swift covers in Japanese.


However, I did have the chance to have a wander round…


…and get a feel for the place…


…in all its glory.


And yes…there were STICKERS aplenty…


…and reams of lovely writing paper…most of which is now in my carry on bag.

Corbigny past and present

  Itˋs still too damn hot, but I managed a trip out to Corbigny, where there is a lovely toy shop… …interesting mediaeval bits and pieces… …fun shop signs… …a great place to drink coffee and watch the world go by… …suitably mad French cars… …and baffling street furniture… …and a chilling reminder that not that long ago, people like you and me were taken away and annihilated. Remember them, never forget, never again.
