exploration

Slowly but surely we are making our way to the many diverse "ekkis" (train stations) that Tokyo has to offer. Hopefully by the time people start visiting us we will have decent knowledge of what is where :) Now please enjoy a few pictures of our explorations...

This is Shibuya, home of the busiest crosswalk in the world or something. We took this picture in the middle of the daytime, so it really does not represent Shibuya well. Imagine like 5 times as many people and lots of lights and you'll have the night life of Tokyo: Shibuya.

This is Shinjuku, another really popular but maybe somewhat seedy area.

This is the view of Tokyo from a restaurant in Yokohama (the second largest city in Japan). Wow!!

Here we are with a Christmas tree in a very fancy hotel downtown, near Tokyo station. Christmas decorations went up the day after Halloween here since there is no Thanksgiving to look forward to.

This is the Tokyo skyline at dusk as captured by my brand new "keitai" (cell phone). Not the greatest quality, but you get it!!

Personally I can't believe we can call this place home! Crazy!
