Some Japanese Scenery, and an update...



Tokyo electronics store. Incredibly colourful!














The front door of the restaurant we ate at...and our GIANT beers
































Tokyo at night

























Pachinko is this gambling thing that's HUGE in Japan. It's like slots, but involves these tiny ball bearings. I'm going to try it one of these days...


















Japanese cab...sweet ride!














Tokyo subway around 10 pm. Packed, and dig the surgeon's mask on the lady in the middle. I'm not sure yet why people where those, but they freak me out a little...














All found in the hotel "vendor room." Juice, pop, beer, smokes and japanese food!

























You want to tell them, or should I....


















Happy Halloween Everybody!
