tokyo: day 5
i am happy:
- i haven't succumbed to greed and buying more camera equipment that i don't need.
- that i've walked all over the city these past few days without too much grumbling.
- that i've actually kept on top of updating this blog during my time here.
- that i am here with good friends, all of whom are having a blast
- that there are vending machines on almost every street corner that dispense refreshing beverages
- that i am keeping within the budget set aside for this trip (for now)
- that i am shooting for fun again
and now, back to the regularly scheduled photo display
yodobashi camera store, a photographer's mecca
nice to see someplace that stocks lots of film
people watching
a throne that washes you after your business... AWESOME
mac store
kids really DO exist in tokyo
believe it or not, an (almost) empty train
new shoes for the two of us
randy's opinion of nyc after this visit
unbelievably fresh seafood
broadway in nakano
tokyo tower
the ride up
the view from the tower
enjoying the view
smsing everywhere
looking down
offices (ugh)
sushi.... unfortunately, not ours
normal stuff for dinner, shishamo, grilled squid. then it gets adventurous with fried chicken cartiladge...
... and raw horse meat...
... and barbequed fish fins...
... and raw squid ...
... washed down with sake ...
... which caused everyone to get a little loopy...
... some more than others...
... in craziness that continued in a 24 hour office supplies store
... topped off with the surreal sight of a mechanical manniquin diverting traffic away from a construction area.
only in japan.

Doh! Forgot to tell you that I like your new trainers yo!
Lol. Yes, only in Tokyo do you get mechanical dummies waving at cars whizzing by...and chicken hearts, kidney, livers all barbequed nice and hot on sticks for consumption...Felt like I was in a weird colorful bubble when I was in Tokyo a few months back...Even witnessed a fleeing criminal and lots of undercover police running after him...now how weird was that?!
