Pluchra

For two nights during my vacation, I stayed at this resort called Pluchra, its a very nice place. Not much to talk about, I think I slept 14 hours a day and basically ate the other hours.The resort is also a large garden, with flowers all over and towards the back fields where they grow much of the food used on site at the different restaurants.Which makes for some really good meals.The first day here was kind of crazy, a tropical storm rolled in and it rained from about 4pm till the next morning. All the side walks turned into rivers and it took about a day and a half for the ground crews to clean this place up. But the next two days, the weather was great.

You are getting some very nice photos. What setting did you use on your camera for the butterfly picture and the fireworks pictures down below?

For the butterfly, push the round button to the left and pick micro mode, the little flower. Then turn off the flash too, walk up, quiet, behind the butterfly, push shutter button half way, a green box should end up somewhere on the butterfly and take photo. For the fire works, you need to put the camera in manual mode, center function button, then manual mode. After that, you can set the exp. time, I think I had +1, turn off flash and take a photo of fireworks. You need to hold the camera against something ridged though, in this case a hand rail. D

Wow, you noticed the title change. When you take a train from anywhere to nagoya station, the last thing they say when you roll into town is "nagoya, nagoya desu...." Just in case you did not hear Nagoya the first time, they reinforce the point being made. D
