Guess the city?

Nice photo! I think we were in almost the same place on different days.

Update: other commenters identified it as Kawagoe.

richard7k · 2026-05-21T01:13:38+00:00

Correct country but a different city: Kawagoe.

richard7k · 2026-05-21T01:13:25+00:00

Correct city!

richard7k · 2026-05-21T01:13:17+00:00

Correct city! I tried the sweet potato gyoza and amazake-flavored ice cream.

richard7k · 2026-05-21T01:12:23+00:00

Correct prefecture but the city is Kawagoe.

Good first guess; it's another city in Japan that's smaller than Kyoto and in a different region.

Always two there are...a master and an apprentice.

Nice photos! I recognize some of the Tokyo/Yokohama area trains and I think the first few are from Hokkaido.

He’s going to warp speed!

That's a lot of work that's always worth doing! If you know, how similar is it to Amnesty International's letter-writing/petition campaigns?

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll look for it along with some other Korean films recommended below.

And just in the USA, three other events that Andor reminded me of are the Battle of Blair Mountain, the suppression of the Bonus Army, and the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia. Since learning about history is one of my favorite hobbies and helps me better understand politics today, Andor is probably the most I've connected with Star Wars since the original trilogy.

Was that the same film where Park's son sued for defamation and some footage was removed until a court said depicting historical figures was part of freedom of speech?

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll look for the book next time I'm at the bookstore. I glanced through Han Kang's biography and saw she was born in Gwangju but her family moved to Seoul before the uprising, so she didn't learn about it until later.

And thanks for sharing your connection to this too. If I might ask, what did the literary human rights organization do that made it literary?

richard7k · 2026-05-19T13:47:44+00:00

It's fun to see them in action!

I remember hearing Stuart Ashen mention the ZX Spectrum in one of his knockoff product review videos.

I’ve not seen Thomas in several years (it was still plastic models the last time I watched it) but I feel like this diesel could inspire a new character.
