Do you think that was taken with a cell phone camera? I love that everyone politely ignores him. Makes me homesick for my NYC subway riding days. :hehe:

Thanks Wynter. :) I am glad you liked them especially with your keen artist's eyes. :say_thanx:

Spent the whole day at Odaiba today just so that we could watch the Tokyo Bay Hanabi. We went to see Ratatouille just to kill some time. It was a good movie, I can recommend it. (However, I already saw Funuke this week and going to two movies in one week is a bit much--my brain is beginning to rot at the edges.)

Unless you've been to this event you have no idea how crowded it was. People just kept coming and coming :nut: ...most were young guys and girls in their 20's. About 40%, including guys, were wearing yukata's. :woot: Just to give you some idea of what it was like, check out this link. http://www.gatsun.to/

It really was like that.

just been back for 3 days after staying in Japan for a month. Have seen most of Tokyo, went to Kamakura and Yokohama and I climbed Fuji-san. I also followed Japanese language school and I stayed with a hostfamily (great people).

Im absolutely going back to Tokyo asap.

That's awesome! I'm glad you had a great time. I've heard horror stories about host families, but I'm glad the family you stayed with was grand.

Those kinda pics don't give anyone incentive to visit Japan, y'know. :bleh:

If someone can't deal with the random ganguro acting foolish in their backyard (i.e. Shibuya) then the prospective traveler is not prepared for the oddiities one will find in Tokyo. The whole city is like one big amusement park :beaten: Japan isn't all temples, kimonos, and old ladies crossing the street.

The fearful and uninitiated should stay home. ;)
