"Japanese Photo-taking Tourists"

Ok, with me going to school in central London near Westminster Abbey I see more than my fair share of lost/confused/scarily happy tourists, and Japanese people.

I've previously seen Japanese tourist taking pictures of Shops, Restaurant Menus (!) and other types of random stuff but today took the p!ss completely.

On my way to science I saw a woman taking a picture of a WALL.

A normal wall, with bricks. Plain Wall, nothing special

Yet this woman had the urge to take a photo of it.


Imagine the scene back in Japan

'Mum, I'm back from England'
'Bring back anything special?'
'A picture of a wall'



On another note I was also asked if I've ever been kicked down some stairs by someone. Odd.

she works for Square/Enix..
expect to see that wall appear as a texture in the next Final Fantsy game :)

Wow.

Lots of people take pictures of walls.

They're very special.

Where i live, tourists are everywhere, espaecially now in summer. It's a laugh sometimes, you know playing tricks. And also you can pretend you're a tourist, put on a french accent... It really confuses people.

Draw the "I", not take a slash.

Bizzarely ive had the urge to do that on several occasions.

Maybe it was an art student and that wall held particular artistic beauty, because of the unique way in which the dirt had formed on it..

We'll makes a change from the bamboo.

should of asked

"scuse me, but do you mind me taking a picture of you taking a picture of the wall?"

Lol

Maybe there was a crack i the wall and she is a builder and is going to fix it but needed to know how much cement to use. Or it was the first picture on the film and she knew that they never come out so she just turned and snapped!
