Have you tried creating your own Photo Book?  It is quite a neat publishing experience.  I use Aperture to manage my photos and Apple makes it so easy to create my own photo books.  Aperture comes with a nice set of photo book templates and it is very intuitive to use.  Everything is drag-and-drop as expected.  When you drag photos into the photo placeholder on a page, it is automatically resized to fit.  You can also zoom in within the photo placeholder to crop out parts of the photos you don’t like. If you use iPhoto, it is a very similar experience.  I imagine it would also be very similar with independent photo book printers like Blurb.

The most enjoyable time in the year in my opinion is July and August.  It is when the weather is usually the mildest, with the longest day light and has the least amount of rain.

Since I was already in Hong Kong, the chances of getting Japanese goods were very good. There were lots of Japanese food to choose from. Even though it was not like actually visiting Japan, I was satisfied with the choices available.

These photos were taken using an iPhone 3GS with Camera+.

In Hong Kong, there is no surprise to see tall apartment buildings. Also if you want to look at the sky, you would have to look straight up as most buildings would block you from looking at the sky if you don’t raise your head.
