Japanese Abandonment

There is something wierd about the Japanese, they seem to abandon places! On such a small island with such a large population they have a tremendous habit of just up and leaving somewhere to rot.

See this fabulous story of Gukanjima - the abandoned island but most of all check out the photographs.

See these photosets of more Japanese abandonedment, Navigate yourself if you are daring.

Or let me choose some of the best for you...
The best abandoned theme park, shrouded in mist!

Set 1 - Dutch stylee Gullivers Travels theme park
Set 2 - just in case you can't find the NEXT button at the bottom.
Abandoned amusement park - The right most of the two buttons at the bottom is NEXT.
and another

Am I wierd to find these fascinating?

You can totally get why they came up with things like The Ring (see the japanese version not the hollywood version) or the Survival Horror games (Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc) or the fabulous Studio Ghiblimovies like Spirited Away.

Of course America has its own Christian version thanks to James Bakker. Not as much fun but still a bit creepy!
