There are many pork bun outlets all over Japan, selling these delicious little, Chinese inspired morsels. But that number multiplies ten fold during Nagasaki's festival season, when impromptu street stalls spring up in every available space.
The bun consists of a slice of Chinese-style barbecued pork rib, encased in a wheat flour bun, then steamed in the northern China tradition.

I am keeping well, but shoot less than I'd want to. The last time I was able to take some pictures, was on a foggy morning in national park De Meinweg. You can find them at http://marlof.smugmug.com/gallery/780855_TX3AH .

I just dropped by your blog for the first time I a while and I'm really happy to see you are (taking and) uploading photos again. You have a knack for capturing natural shots of people and have a lot of really interesting images of people firmly placed in their environments. Japan offers up endless opportunities for these kind of images but it takes a special ability to get them. Thanks for your pictures. I'm enjoying your work and looking forward to the next.
