Architecture in Tokyo is awesome. Lots of cool buildings such at this one:
I had a tonne of sushi while there. Check out this fat platter James & I sharred, along with some extra maki.
I got up at 4:45am the last Saturday to check out the world famous Tokyo Fish Market. Below are all the Tuna on the floor, flash frozen on the boats and ready for auction. Everything in Tokyo is massively electronics (see my post about toilets!), however the fish market is entirely manual, completely chaotic, and incredibly amazing.
Here's a pic of the lit up buildings at night:
In Harajuku, an area known for its culture and fashion, we saw someone walking this dog with a wicked haircut.
And here's a couple of Harajuku girls posing for our picture. They are quite flattered to have tourists take pictures and enjoy it.
When we checked out the Meiji Shrine just inside Yoyogi Park, there was a few Japanese weddings going on. (I got the sense that this place is popular and is a little wedding-factory-ish given how the weddings seemed to be back to back.)
And some guests were dressed up in traditional Japanese dress outfits... checkout how cute the kids are!
Here's a shot of the elevator I rode each day for work. It was on the outside of the building and completely glass. Very fun to ride in, and very huge. It had 4 doors on the front that opened and was probably 15 feet square. Its capacity was 76 people.
And before we left I made sure to snag a shot of a typical Tokyo garbage can... really it should be called a recycling station!
