He wanted visitors to experience the museum while they were in it and not spend the entire time taking pictures of everything to look at later. At least that's what my wife, who is Japanese, read to me from a guide book. I think it also helps keep the crowd moving through the place which, I'm sure you can attest, is rather cozy. Glad I clicked on your ad over on postmodernbarney. We get to Japan about every 18 months and I've really been enjoying going through your travel diary.

We were able to take photographs outside without inconveniencing anyone. :) Hugh: You're welcome! I feel bad because the pictures really only hint at how awesome the whole place is. I think you'll end up being impressed with the Tezuka museum shots though, they let us photograph anything we wanted...! :) ADC: Cheers!

Very good, easy to understand without knowing Japanese (only about a dozen lines of dialogue, most of them 'arigatou'), and with all the sound effects produced by actors' voices. The cafe is nice, despite the long waiting times. I had a very upmarket version of a pork cutlet sandwich. I also have a photograph of the robot, naturally. Saw the sign telling you not to hog the step with the best angle?

The Ghibli Museum looks superb (sukoi?). If there was an animé underground at my university, then I sure as hell missed it. Would have appreciated something like that back then, too. We did get to see Laputa on British TV waaaaaaayyyy back in...Google says 1989...and even now it's one of my favourite Ghibli films. I'd've loved to have seen that robot up close. (If you're reading this in the UK and you have the channel, then I <i>think</i> Film 4 are showing a couple of SG films over the Chrimble period, including Kiki's Delivery Service.) Anyway. Superb. //\Oo/\\ Chris,
