Things to see where I live: MONOBE-SON, Japan

Very recently, my girlfriend Mika finally moved to Monobe to finally put an end to having a long distance relationship, and to see how we'd go at a normal relationship. YAY! So, i took it upon myself to show her around last weekend to see what is actually around where i live. Items needed was my car and my brand-spanking new digital foto camera. These are some of the fotos that were taken. So, for those back home in oz or here in japan, i hope u enjoy the pics.

here's a view from the top.....of my place

my lovely air-conditioned car which i would be lost without

looking out onto Nagase Dam.....pretty much the main attraction of monobe. look at how emerald green the water is.
