Because I realised Kuwabara was picking'em out of a list. Well, there's a list, though I doubt it's a complete one.

EDIT -- forgot to mention the other day, but the initiative re the Mirage of Blaze soundtracks rests squarely on sesame_seed's shoulders. ...Now what about those drama CDs? T_T

China #3 (redux): Hangzhou Day 1

As requested manifold times in that last monster flist meme, I've begun to upload my China photographs to lj-pics. Here is the gallery of my first day in Hangzhou: page 1 and page 2. Do go take a look, I spent all of last evening sorting and selecting and resizing and cropping and running colour/contrast/level filters in Photoshop and uploading and writing captions from my inadequate notes, even worse memory and Internet research. 50 photos down, something like another 150 to go. Perfectionism? What's that?

A selection of the ones I like best are behind the cut. Feel free to use as Juuni Kokki ficcing material (what? ...but I am convinced that each of the Twelve Kingdoms corresponds to a Chinese province, because that's how I would do it. Except Ono-sensei probably intends nothing of the sort, and I can't really tell from the anime), although Hangzhou looks absolutely nothing like Tai. Tai is somewhere on the Western frontier, j0.
