The beer vending machine is awesome because it has a Drivers License reader for age verification and also an intercom so if you don't have a Japanese Drivers License you can press the intercom button to connect to some call center that will then use the camera on the intercom to ascertain that you are of legal age and allow you to buy beer.

It finally snowed here in Kyoto.

I was gonna go out and take pics of nanzenji, but it was way too fucking cold. I am from the Southern U.S. so I am not used to having an actual winter.

Looking at your forecast today would have been the day for it, honestly.
Tomorrow looks like it is going to be windier, and wind makes it feel so much worse.

I don't usually have snow where I am from but I was just out shoveling snow around my apartment block. Yesterday out at Aizu-Wakamatsu and Aizu-Kawaguchiko was real fucking cold but gloves, scarf and a beanie go a long way to making it bearable.

I just got back from my vacation/job scoping visit in Japan and would love to share some pictures if people are interested.

Unfortunately the pictures are just on my phone so they won't look too good.

You can't fix it with your phone and phones don't usually have an option to actually take the photo in portrait mode without using EXIF to set the orientation.
You can use applications to strip and rotate files once they are on your computer. I use mogrify with the -auto-orient command to do it.

The mogrify exe from imagemagick (renamed to zmogrify so it sits at the bottom of the directory) and a bat file named zstrip (for the same reason) that you just drag and drop image files onto and it will strip the orientation tag and rotate the image to match the orientation that was specified in the tag (the thumbnail fucks up though but I don't care).

It is the other way across. If you are missing a general STEM background, you really can't do a graduate course at that level.

Global Studies is so specialized that it is actually doable. Rare that people cross, but it is an option.

I am pretty sure I have heard of English STEM courses in Japan though, may want to look around a bit.

Good point. I kinda wanted to show off the building and snowy trees on the left. Cropping the busy right side and water might be a good idea.

I was trying to properly expose the snow, so I kinda forget about those others trees. It was so cold I could barely use my hands they were hurting so much. I bumped up exposure in post too which did not help.

Thanks for the tips. Will mess with them again later when I get home.

Drag down the highlights.

>>16549082
Play around in Lightroom, drag the bars around to see the differences it makes and then try to make the image look as close to what you remember.

I would say drop the exposure by -0.3 on them, second one needs the highlights pulled down, rotate the second and third a bit so they are more level.

As for composition they're pretty much fine.

Normal I guess. Helpful if anything. Always try their best to accomodate what they expect to be non-japanese speakers.

No. Most rascist I have come across is overhearing some guy asking his gf if all gaijin stink and getting berated by her for it.

>Can you speak Japanese fluently?

No. I can get by though, most daily conversations, school, work, drinking, etc. I am fine. When it comes to overly technical conversations I have issues.

My listening/reading is way better than my speaking/writing. For reference, I have only passed JLPT N2. I could probably pass N1 if I dedicated a few months to it, bit I don't have the time.

I know that 1600x1200 isn't very high, my camera takes pictures at 6000x4000 after all, there's just rarely any point in keeping the photos at 6000x4000, and part of that is because I am often using lenses that aren't sharp enough.

Might be kinda localized.

I don't really imagine them putting everything underground. And there are also places that don't have any above ground.

In many places there's just no room to put things under ground because there's like no curb, like the road you posted. Just dig up the road and put the cables under it? I am pretty sure that is a terrible idea because it makes access even more annoying than usual.

That too, and since Japan is prone to earthquakes, it'd make the system more vulnerable. I will try to dig up the article but I believe it's an effort to make Tokyo "prettier" by western standards. Which is something I get more and more annoyed by. 2020 will be a hard year to survive.
