    Viver: I wonder I have good hands. For sure, it is partly due to the good work of the anti-handshaking device; but when I look at the pic information, it tells me why:
    it is auto white balance, no flash, being F4.5 at 1/40 at an ISO of 400!

    Hah, got one at our flat in Japan. Generally, most flats come with these electric-toilets :p.. Did you check out the 'benza' and 'shower' function to clean your bottom ? :D:D

    In Korea, every hotel-room I've stayed in has a 'smart' toilet-bowl ;)
    It's kinda scary though when sitting on a hot-wired contraption.

    I'm always beset by the fear of getting electrocuted :(

    Lawl, after all, they're all electric-chairs. :D'

    What I don't like about these toilets is that the bowl is really small, and the 'sweetspot' is small like an oval racquet :p.. I prefer the isometric-bowl that i have at home in Nz.

    Here are some pictures I took while I was in Japan:

    This is the Itaria-mura ( italy village ), near Kyoto. It's a really small amusement park. The guy in the photo here controlling the gondola kept on shaking the gondola.. scared the hell outta me.

    Pak Nai is a very famous place to take sunset photo in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the sun was covered by cloud on that day.

    when i went to the olympic green there were no more ground passes for sale. only people with tickets to the athletics or swimming events were allowed inside. this was my disappointing view of the bird's nest stadium :(

    Hmm..

    Marky: the tower shape of that JR Kyoto train station reminds me of the Macau Tower..I wonder how high (how many floors) is the JR Kyoto Station??..:confused:

    Mini Me: looking at the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, in person, is definitely an experience than seeing them on tv, pictures etc. They're absolutely marvelous.:cool:

    chehsi: the design is based on the Golden Bauhinia flower. From far away (if one is driving by it), it definitely doesn't show the glitz of its glass pieces.:cool:

    I was told it's build to look like Lotus.. It's also very nice at night with all the lights on. I think I should put the pic of the whole building instead.. as this is just the lower part of the building. All my pics looked so gloomy cuz' of the weather :( but really like the glass pieces there.

    ctjcat: JR Kyoto is definitely not "tower" tall, but it is hugh. I was too excited and missed to take a picture of its total outlook. ... But I steal this link to give a basic idea how it looks..>>
