That website kind of resembles my company's English one I like that proposed building. It would look good in some places - but I can't imagine how anyone would think it would fit into the surroundings of a lovely old castle. Never seen that gomiland structure before.

snowboard 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 That website is lovely. A lot of thought went into that it seems. The gomi castle is just such a bad joke, if you can call it that. Ocean11 should go to the opening and get the speech down for us. Link to post Share on other sites
olivermauss 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Anyone read Dogs and Demons by Alex Kerr? Good for long time residents, bad for newbies... Pretty indepth analysis of some of the reason behind all of the $%ed up spending in good ole Japan. You dont have to gree with everyting he sez, but you can certainly see where he`s coming from.
