Tokyo at night. There's not a lot of cities in the world where you can walk around at night with an expensive camera and still feel completely safe. Tokyo is one of them.
I liked the lighting on this one
neato scooter
Such pretty lighting and shapes.
I love trains
I liked how clean the ground was.
Like I said before, not sure if this is in order anymore but here are some of the tasty things I ate in Tokyo.
I don't know what he was yelling...
But OMG he was right. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had.
Unpasteurized caramels. Tastes like a triple cream french cheese and a caramel mixed together.
Only a serious soba place would make their own beer.
Hand made each day for centuries and very very good
Pork cutlet, beaten until thin and then folded back over. The most delicate texture and still full of flavor.
So it's finally come to this. I can't remember which day was which. I obviously left this too long. 
If you are a fan of Miyazaki, you owe it to yourself to go visit his museum. It's wonderful, and if I was a billionaire, I'd add 10 new wings to the museum so that I could wander the halls all day.
I love this world.
So we walked around Ginza instead. But first, a pic I forgot from the night before.
The market was one block away. Sad I missed it this time around.
Pretty sure he was relieving himself
Ginza is quiet early in the morning.
Walking around with my old school 50mm. It takes a lot of practice, but when I can nail the focus, I like the results.
Cooking something delicious
"The job is done, bring the car around"
"Yes boss"
Notice how clean the taxi is, even the rims. Working hard and taking pride in it; two things I can relate to.
I can't quite remember exactly what happened the rest of the day, thus the title. The saddest part about not being in Japan is that when you're there there's so much you soak in that when you're away there's so much to forget. 
Thank you natural skybox
For Charles and Allison
When I saw this walking past, it reminded me of HK movies from teh 90's for some reason. Not a remarkable photo, but there's a story somewhere there.
Our purpose of the day was to eat at one of the supposedly best ramen places in Tokyo. Unfortunately, they do not allow pictures. They only open for 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, and yes, there is a line even before it opens.
If you're seeing this, turn around. Menya Kissou is right behind you.
Working off the ramen
"Don't wear that white skirt and stripped shirt today k? Okay"
Line up for a new Gundam Cafe that just opened up. They probably could have charged for oxygen in there.
This took awhile to get the spacing right, with nobody else in frame. Thank you plaid shirt person for rocking it.
You will not find streets this clean anywhere else in a major metropolis
Love skinny buildings
Chillin
Time to eat
The chef
The refreshment
The food
The walk back. Go ahead, talk to her.
It's like a poor man's crane.
Traffic
What is this kid doing by herself?
Two points for green.
Somewhere among the northern jaunts of Kyoto there is a market that consists of an alleyway that cuts across the city for dozens of blocks.
Didn't try one of these little guys
Did try this though. They roasted the tea right there for you according to your tastes.
Something for him. Sorta.
Something for her.
Not a great photo, but I like it for some reason. 
The hand is saying something. I'm not sure what yet, but I agree.
In my way = in my picture.
Looks almost fake.
Wow I'm behind. 
Wish I could erase that random man on the right
Hard to see in a pic so small, but there's a policeman in there if you look carefully
This would look better large.
