      Hello Michael!…

      Well, I am spanish, so I have to say sorry for my english, I know is not really good!…
      I recently discovered your website, which I like very much, so first of all, thank for write in it and for your pictures… keep doing! they’re really good!…

      As I’ve seen you use to seek places uninhabited, and probably you already know, but there is a place in Japan, which must be incredible!… and I don’t even know if you have been there… the place is called 軍艦島 (gukanjima) ( sorry I am not good with computers so, I can’t make a link…

      this place really impressed me, and I just wanted you to know… maybe is far away from Tokyo, and maybe it’s difficult to go there, but if you can go there, I would like to see your pictures!!!

      See you!!

      Hi Oscar!

      That’s great you enjoy my site and photos, thanks so much for commenting and letting me know. I studied Spanish a little in University but unfortunately can only say simple things. Yo soy Mike. Wow! I know, very simple.

      Anyway- you mention Gunkanjima, battleship island- yes, I would definitely want to go there, but it is at the other end of Japan from me, and very difficult to get to. Of course it is an island, and illegal to go to, so the only way is to borrow a boat and go there. Also I heard they are doing construction on the island now- they want to open it to tourists. Maybe I can go when they finish.

      Cheers!
      Mike.

      I saw your comment at: http://sevententotokyo.com/2008/11/tokyo-i-love-you-ok-not-really/ and I was happy to read it…I agree with what you wrote there completely!

      If I may ask, how long have you lived in Tokyo? I’m an American whose been living in Tokyo since 1990.

      Please feel free to comment on my blog anytime…it’s here:

      Tokyo Five- Thanks, glad we’re in agreement. I’ve been in Japan for nearly 6 years now, and not expecting to go home any time soon. Are you a lifer here? I don’t think I will be, but who knows.

    5. For the record, yes you will be a lifer. I am not paying for an audio guide through Japan when I visit on my world tour. I love the pictures you post too! You look like a rock star. Without the guitar, gyrations or dated, enormous sunglasses.
