My Second Trip to Japan

 

As I indicated earlier in this album, I planned to take another trip to Japan- the first one having been so interesting. This time, though, I will be on my own, as most of the officers I might have traveled with have already left Korea for return to the United States. I, myself, only have about a month left on my own tour, and what with the move of the Finance Office to Camp Casey, I have not had the chance to find someone compatible to travel with.

No matter, though, I have a specific list of places I want to visit, and relatively little time in which to do so.

One thing I did not do early in my photographic career was to record the exact day on which I did one thing or another. (In the future, when digital cameras become the norm, those cameras will automatically tag each picture with not only WHEN it was taken- to the second- but also WHERE it was taken.) In fact, the date of my trip to Japan this time is only approximate, as I only labeled my slides with month and year.

But the actual dates aren't really important, so although I will take my nearest estimation of the exact dates for use on these pages, I'll be concentrating more on what I saw and where I went than on which day a picture was taken. For that reason, the index at left will take you to the various destinations or activities of my second trip to Japan, not to an arbitrary day.

You can use this index to go directly to a particular destination that may be of interest to you. On each of those pages, you will find links at the top and bottom that will take you to the next or previous section of pictures, as well as a link that will bring you back here to the index.

If you would simply like to follow me to all of my Japan destination, just follow the first link in the index, follow the page links from page to page, and on the last section page use the link that will return you to the top of this page. You will need to return here to continue through the photo album, and look at my pictures from the period of 1971 prior to this Japan trip or to the many 1971 events that followed it.

I hope you enjoy coming along with me on my second, self-planned trip to Japan!
