Sailings April 1922-March 1923
Ports of call:
Yokohama, Kobe, Moji, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malacca, Penang, Colombo, Suez, Port Said, Marseilles, London, Antwerp.
The Tatsuta Maru (16,975 grt, 584 ft. long) commenced her maiden voyage between Yokohama and San Francisco in April 1930. The transliteration of her name was changed to Tatuta Maru in 1938.
She became a troop transport for the Japanese Navy in 1941, but ended her days two years later when sunk by a US submarine. Her sister-ship the Asama Maru was near-identical, whereas a half-sister, the Chichibu Maru, was slightly larger with only one funnel.

Salvador Dali’s Chupa Chups Lollipops Logo
“Acutely aware of presentation, Dalí insisted that his design be placed on top of the lolly, rather than the side, so that it could always be viewed intact. It’s proved to be one of the most enduring pieces of branding ever and one that’s still used today, four billion sales later.”

I wasn’t able to build my son a treehouse, so I built him this broccoli house instead. Made with balsa wood.

Stunning Landscape - Cappadocia, Turkey
The mysterious rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia make this region of Turkey one the most beautiful in the world. The rich history of this site can be told through the villages, subterranean churches and fortresses that have been carved straight into the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock.
Popular activities in the region include visits to the underground cities, viewing the ancient Christian cave art, seeing the “fairy chimney” rock formations, and taking sunrise hot air balloon rides for a view of the breathtaking landscape from above.When I am certain everyone else in the world is following odditiesoflife I will not reblog everything she puts up quite so industriously….

So I just spent my evening making this. It’s a necklace that goes with the theme of my final major project. But no, it doesn’t count towards my grade. I made this to sell at the little shop we’re having during exhibition. I’m hoping to sell this for maybe £25?? I dunno if that’s too much but i’m pretty pleased with it.
My date looked stunning (;—-)) and so did the restaurant. They must have spent one million pounds doing it. The actual restaurant was 2 floors underground and was designed like an airport. Some of the dining areas were designed in the theme of different countries and we got seated at a table for two in “india”. The actual buffet was designed to look like china town and all the types of food were sectioned into what looked like different stalls and shops. It was all very spectacular and also a little bit tacky at times but I appreciate the effort in creating an atmosphere i’ve never dined in before (not even at an airport) I had two plates of main course and two plates of pudding! I’m so greedy but gotta get my money’s worth right?? I took a trip to the bathroom and it actually smelt like miami (a kind of sweet breezy smell?) And the sinks looked like they were made of glowstone! Yes, glowstone as in minecraft. They looked pretty cool!
After we ate and paid the bill and stared at eachother for ages we took a trip to jessops (that’s john Lewis to those who don’t remember) and went round all the fancy furniture and rugs pretending we were rich enough to afford such items (we decided that one day we will be) I just want a really nice lamp and rug.
Afterwards we went back to his and took a nap because doing activities like going out make us sleepy. We’re such babies.
decided to go on a date to red hot for tomorrows lunch. Pretty excited for all the food that’s gonna be in my belly for the great price of £8.49. I don’t usually get excited about food this much but I heard this place was reeall good (and the building is designed to look like an airport hangar??)
