altadenahiker - I believe it still is. If you get off the tourist track though. It's not bad at all. This are about the same as here. Restaurants cost more, but they don't accept tips, so it averages out.
Ms. Anthropy - "DyDo" is a vending machine and drink company. There are vending machines everywhere. They also sell beer and hard liquor in vending machines there. However, you NEVER see a Japanese drinking on the street. Can you imagine what would happen in the the western world if they sold alcohol in vending machines? chaos..
if they sold liquor in vending machines, i'd totally be smashed with a bottle of wine in my hands asking people if they've seen my kids.... hahahaha. awwwwwww poor kiddos. no i wouldn't.... okay, i totally would..... not.... maybe.
Ashley - LOL Copyboy - haven't been there yet! Nancy - I love them. How's the new camera? Kimberly - plenty of trains in Japan. PLENTY!!! T-rexy - Thanks! Yup, the second pic almost has too much to see. That little street is on the way to my wife's aunt's house.
Amazing jumble of overhead electrical wires in the second photo. What's DyDo?
ReplyDeleteLooks like markets on the first floor. I remember at one point Tokyo was the most expensive city in the world.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures would not have the same effect if they had not been done in black & white. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteA whole different world, I do love the black and white shots also.
