Japan Apporoacheth

Holy crap I go to Japan in 4 days.

That's way too soon, I don't have anything ready. However, I do know that I will be bringing my camera. I want picture requests. Of what things in Japan do people want pictures? Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Here's my very rough schedule:

1. Fly out Saturday morning (Central time), arrive Sunday evening (Japan time)
2. Contest check-in Monday evening
3. Contest activities until Friday morning
4. 3-day, 2-night Kyoto tour until Sunday
5. Party all Sunday night until we ditch Yuliy and Riedesel at the airport
6. Wander Japan on our rail pass until our Thursday afternoon flight*

*this item is where the requests become especially important.

As far as I know, we don't have a plan for the four days after Kyoto, other than trying to go somewhere other than Tokyo, try to find cheap places to stay (hostels? cheap hotels?), and see lots of interesting places where English isn't used quite as regularly as the metropolis. We're thinking either North or South, but probably not both.

Anyway, comment to give me ideas.
