I wonder …. how old is she!?

Do you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world?

The data released by the Ministry of  Health, Labour and Welware in 2009 shows that
Japanese women have the longest life expectancy in the world, with an average life span of 86.44 years.
btw. Japanese men average life span is 79.59 years.

Check out the life expectancy at birth of other countries over here if you’re interested.

Penguin & dog

Photo taken on 3rd July, 2010.
Mitsubishi Color 100 film. Canon EOS 300 camera.

Can you see a penguin in this photo?

This adorable penguin, designed by Illustrator Sakazaki Chiharu is the mascot for SUICA. FYI. SUICA is a rechargeable touch and go commuter pass. It can also be used at some of the convenient stores and vending machines around Tokyo.

Do you remember this cute white dog from Softbank? I’ve posted about him before over here >>

I took this picture at the subway platform bcoz I wanted to see how this ISO 100 film works under low light conditions. I’m so surprised that the picture came out so clear and not underexposed!  This Mitsubishi Color 100 film is quite good yah!?

One more day to go. And I’ll have 3 days without work!!!
