Photos from Japan, Batch 3 of [---]. Day 2: Tokyo, Downtown and Ginza

[dangermousie]

Here are (after a bit of an interval, I apologize), more of my pictures from Japan.





Quiet, willow lined street in a random part of Tokyo early in the morning.



We found a small street stand on a side street there selling food and being hungry, bought a couple fo bento boxes using gestures and grins. We sat on the curb near a small parking lot and ate it, and being in a 'oooh, shiny and new' mood, I took pictures of the box. Unfortunately, after I ate it :P



More of the street:



Downtown, pretty dead on the weekend:







Public art, mark one:



Public art, mark two:



Walking to Ginza:





I love the veritcality of the signs (and yes, that is Mr. Mousie's back):





Yup, the upscale awesome Ginza. So pwns 5th Avenue:



Main thoroughfare:



And quieter sidestreets:



Super upscale store plus a doorman:



More Ginza sidestreets:



Bustling:



Inside the swanky department store:




Next up (later today). Post full of pictures of FOOD as I go mad in a department store in Ginza.

Ohhhhh... *turns green* I'm so jealous. The only places I've managed to go in Tokyo as Asakusa Mon and the Tower. I'm glad you had a good time, though! And the *food*...

*wanders off to find some Pocky*

I loved Asakusa. Never went to the Tower (went to the municipal building instead).

And now am getting hungry!

Thanks! Pics make me jealous but so happy for you at the same time!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! But I am sure you will definitely get to go!!!!

Holy shit I live there now.

People in Tokyo are ridiculously helpful and friendly. The antithesis of New Yorkers, practically.

Also I'm drunk, mad props to the power of KAWAII.

What are you drunk on? Hopefully something good.

And am jealous of your current location....

:O
Ginza looks very intimidating.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It wasn't at all. Everyone was super nice, actually...

*is nostalgic*

I miss vacation.
