Swiss McDonalds


I haven't yet visited a Swiss McDonalds, so I don't know their prices. 
I can report that unleaded gas is CHF 1.58/liter, which corresponds to $7.32/gallon.

Japan again: Matsumoto


It's that time of year, and I'm ready to be back in Japan. This week, a few photos from our trip in August, 2007.
I took lots of photos of beautiful manhole covers that year. This one is in Matsumoto, and represents one of
their local crafts: decorative balls covered with silk thread.
Matsumoto is near Nagano, where the Winter Olympics were held in 1998.

Trash collection


Some homes in town have curbside garbage pickup. The rest of us carry our garbage bags to receptacles 
like these.
