RE: Château de Versailles, Versailles, France Part 01
amazing photos! i haven't been to France yet but it's in the bucket list! I think the feeling of having watched those magnificent buildings that scream out Aristocracy vs the Japanese temples that have increased the religion into another level must be one of a kind
Yeah, but it's more the contrast between stone and wood that marks me. I didn't pick up on it at first, but since moving to Japan - where everything is made of wood or synthetic materials - I'm much more conscious of the weight and permanence of stone as an architectural material. I'm also becoming more appreciative of France as a country since moving here! My wife's the same, too: in France e were both constantly annoyed by bad service but now that we're in Japan we really miss the food and drink!
now that you are saying it, i haven't noticed the wooden vs stone aspect. open up a french restaurant in japan with food materials from your farm then problem solved :P
Nah, I'm hoping someone else will do that for me;) Seriously, I've already worked in hospitality and have no desire to do it again. Definitely not in Japan where the customer really is king!
