we popped into matsumoto to check out the castle there on the way home from magome. you can just do that when you're travelling almost at the speed of light on these shinkansen. it's japan's oldest wooden castle and one of the four national treasure castles in the country. in fact it was fucking good and i'd recommend it to anyone, despite what i have previously said about tourist destinations. check out the pics.

it was unfortunately the site of japan camera incident number two. somehow, i yet again got my feet stuck in the camera cord whilst it was around my neck, but this time the camera and cord somehow separated, and i had one of those slow-motion experiences where you see an expensive gift from your partner's mother falling towards the ground at one hundredth of normal speed but your arms are also reacting at one hundredth of normal speed so you end up just watching it fall for a few minutes like a feather on a mildly gusty day until you hear the sound of an LCD screen pulverising itself against an ancient castle's flagstones and suddenly time speeds up again and your arms start working again and you let out a gasp before looking up to see your lover's eyes staring at you filled with something that can only be described as a mixture of love and the realisation that they are in a relationship with the most irresponsible fuckwit that ever walked the earth. sorry my frog :(
