Manholes

Its been awhile since the last post. Here's some things to deeply contemplate.

Not really sure what to do when we get there? Finished all your shopping and seen every temple and jinja possible? What to do... Start collecting.

Where ever we go in Japan there will be new things to see and enjoy. One of the things we all want to do is bring back great memories. Photos and video are a great way to do that but you might also want to consider collecting series of stuff.

Manhole covers. Bet you haven't considered manhole covers as collectibles. Well, you can't bring home an actual manhole cover but you can certainly bring home photos of covers. Be careful though, make sure you and the people around you are safe.

You might also consider collecting matchbox covers from restaurants and places you visit. Matchbooks can be soaked and the cardboard separated from the printed outside. These can then be placed in albums. They of course can just be flattened and put in albums.

Here's a couple of examples:

Tanaka Museum
Sekiya - 1933 examples

Not convinced. Here's a book on Amazon.

Something else you might want to do is photograph everything you eat. Whether a stick of gum or a full buffet, photograph everything.

When you get home be sure to share your adventures with family and friends.
