Jawaad in NYC

My visit to New York City produced some nice pics – coming soon :/

My hand lingered on the send button.

About to call a friend, my hand lingers on the send button.

Do I have anything of value to talk to him about? Do I have anything that will make him happier after hearing the story? Or is it just the common waste of time & money?

Knowing the answer in my heart, I sadly laid down my phone, and went to try working again.

Kanonji – Supersized!

Kanonji JR Station 観音寺
Kanonji (観音寺), or the “Temple of Kanon”, is a small town in Shikoku, Japan. (Small being a relative term in Japan – the town has more than 65,000 people who live there). It contains several temples which Japanese Buddhist pilgrims go to visit annually, the first of which was established in 807 CE.

Jawaad:
It is almost an outright lie to call it “Olympic Stadium” since most of it didn’t even exist during the olympics. The big unions, in a recurring theme within Quebec history, went on strike and the Stadium roof was never completed. Neither was the tower photographed above for that matter – the Stadium was only made functionally complete in 1987 – a good 11 years late.
