Aloha from Detroit [big pics]

just wanna say wassup from the land of American cars and great roads (sorta)
the hotel where we are staying at is right across 2 huge Ford buildings- its amazing how steel is in great supply here...and used abundantly.. unlike back home
although i am here on business i will post up some great shots later on tonight (udaman, samurai!)
the weather sucks, rain-lightning,hail and 20 percent humidity... but its all good. i miss spam eggs and rice.... and ASIAN people! jajajajaja!



[these 2 pics are from what they call DPM, or detroit people mover]
