It must have been a cold winter in Tokyo. Or camera hax! Good call on Meiji. Though, I have to point out that it's not stealing since they paid for all that fancy European education and such.^^ The pedals looks incredibly lush, too. It must have been a cold winter in Tokyo.

Good call on Meiji. Though, I have to point out that it’s not stealing since they paid for all that fancy European education and such.^^

We hit up the Ueno strip last night and had a wander down some of the side alleys with pachinko and all sorts going on - a fascinating place. And you're spot on abut the technology, a mixture of traditional and modern, stealing all the best bits from western society and making them their own. You can tell I've been reading up the Meiji Restoration! Thankfully any photo with cherry blossoms in it seems to come out well, just got to be sure not to absue that.

"Sake barrels" looks especially fantastic. Nice mix of nightime and light, tradition and city. The Ueno strip at night is amazing to see as always. Even without jetlag I still get overwhelmed there, losing sight of my destination often and ending up at a Yaki-niku grill instead of that sushi place I intended to try. Oh and Japanese keyboards. For s society so roboticized in many ways, they tend to revert back to luddites when it comes to IT. But that too is part of the charm of the country, one could say!
