Description

Oriental visitors like to do Europe in one week. Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Jungfraujoch, London and that's it. A very compressed program decompressed these Japanese tourists out of the bus before the Parliament buildings at the Thames. Women with cams on one side, the men on the other side, *click* *click* *click* and then changing roles, once again *click* *click* *click* and then hop in the bus to the next place of interest. It just takes about 150 seconds. This passer-by did realize a little bit too late he walked in the line of fire. He got shot in this barrage but he survived.

i can't even begin to imagine seeing Europe (or any other place) this way, although Kemal and I did consider trying to see many of these places in a 3 week trip. never did go though. We're both the kind of people who really don't want to spend our entire vacation sight-seeing. We like a 2-3 week vacation where we can go somewhere just to completely relax and enjoy the beauty around us. A little touristy stuff is okay though. I love the sparkles on the water here & that cloud-filled sky!!! It's beautiful! Anyway, it's funny shot...that poor guy!!!! I also find it interesting that the men and women separated like that! :)
