I finally fixed the pictures in my Drainspotting in Japan post from last year (the plugin I used before Shashin for managing my pictures doesn’t work with recent versions of WordPress, so I’ve been slowly working through my older posts to fix the pictures). Pink Tentacle has a photo collection of some of the more dazzling Japanese manhole covers, as well as pictures of what may be the most manhole infested street in the world – a quiet street in Tokyo’s Setagaya ward, with 85 manholes over a 200 meter stretch of pavement.
It looks like Prague is also a good city for drainspotting. I mention this because we’re planning a trip to Prague next summer. Maria is going to be in charge of a group of Villanova students who will be there to study for a summer semester. Maria will be there for two months with the boys, and I’ll join them for the last few weeks (so I need to save up all my vacation time between now and then).
Don’t worry though, I’ll look up from the ground every now and then to see what else the city has to offer
