Which is surprising, considering the amount of awful propaganda on each side. There were pictures from nightclubs in this lot, but the low light meant that they were almost all very blurry. Even the photos of topless women, I am sad to say. <br /><br />Nanook, I thought I would go bananas, but Herbie already did it. So I decided to go international. Japan is the Asian country I am most curious to see someday!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-37525321486088796362015-02-07T09:03:39.816-08:002015-02-07T09:03:39.816-08:00GDB goes International-!

He, too, described it as a very fascinating country.<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-15479603753583618292015-02-07T08:35:52.285-08:002015-02-07T08:35:52.285-08:00When you mentioned American servicemen it reminded...When you mentioned American servicemen it reminded me of my dad's time in Japan when he lived there for a while in the 1950s around the time and after he was in the Korean War. He didn't talk about it much, but when he did he seemed to have a real fondness for the country. I remember after he died, I went through some black and white photos of he and his Air Force buddies in nightclubs and restaurants where there appeared to be lots of young Japanese woman around. There were also lots of photos of a young woman and her family, so it appears he was involved with someone while residing there.<br /><br />What a nice photo set today. Love the harbor image.
