As promised, some photos from the past couple of weeks. I haven't been as trigger-happy as I should so these are just a random assortment.
Street food. One of the best parts of Japan. Above is a street vendor making okonomi-yaki and tako-yaki. Just really dirty dirty food which is awesome. They also have ramen and oden stands littered around Tokyo for your hunger needs.
A shot of Yasukuni Shrine mentioned in a previous post. There was a crowd there chanting scripture when I was there. Not much else to say. The area is definitely beautiful and serene. A small safehaven from the rest of Tokyo.
I was in a Kinokuniya Bookstore and found these amongst the other manga digests and novels. A bit jarring to see these placed next to slice-of-life books. The one to the right is about crab fishing. Although Supes would be one hell of a fisherman if he was so inclined.
The name says it all...
Not sure what this was. I'd guess it was a gallery of some sort.
A shot of Tokyo from my uncle's apartment. On a good day you can see Mt. Fuji behind that smoke stack but I think the smog was a bit too thick that day. My place has no view so it's nice to be higher up like this.
That's it for today. I'll make a conscious effort to take more over the holidays which reminds me, Merry Christmas.
