Well, it looks like the damage is irreversible. I am doomed to be e. for the rest of my life. :) Just kidding, I actually changed it to eureka in case people thought my name was weird. But apparently, you've all gotten used to it.
Photo is of the bus driver. I always felt bad for him, because while we were having fun, he was working.

I agree... love the way only the reflection is sharp, and the surroundings are all so blurry

Please never feel sorry for working people while you have fun! It's their job and you contribute to their work satisfaction if you have fun in the bus (suppose he would only transport serious and grumbling people:). Also in our hotel school students know that they will work while others have fun but they know that's what they're paid for and also what motivates them. So far my teacher's preach :). Oh no I forgot: don't forget your finals while blogging :). BTW I find this a wonderful picture of someone working and making such a simple nose-itching gesture.

@Illuci: Thank you for your wise words. :) I'll definitely keep them in mind.

This is an excellent study with the mirror forming a gateway between the two worlds : very effective.

Indiscretion does not always serve you well.....what if the moment you clicked the shutter the man would have thumbed his nose (which they do very often in Japan, no problem!). would you have posted it all the same?!
