Marunouchi:Tokyo

This cherry blossom always bloom the earliest. Near my house. It's pretty warm in Japan!
早咲き桜。
I cross this bridge everyday. Since elementary school.
おなじみの歩道橋も、新しいカメラでとるとシャープだわ〜。NYで写真とっててもなんかあまり浮かない気がするんだけど、通勤中にいきなりとまって写真とってたりすると、すごく浮いてる気分になるのは気にし過ぎ?

Today I went exploring a bit around the office after work. Totally got lost for a moment, but I did okay. I like this building photo. Isn't it very Tokyo?

There are so many shops around my office, its' like 5th avenue times 10. I was very surprised... They even tried to put benches out, some grassy area etc, it was kinda nice blocks. I believe this part of city development is pretty recent.

迷子になって丸の内から有楽町へたどり着こうとしたときに、すごくたくさんお店が並んでいるところを通り過ぎた。NYの5番街の10倍はでかいんじゃないの。ところどころ、古い日本の商業ビルがあって、そのミックスが面白い。

high scrapers... everywhere! I think that's what makes Tokyo very different from New York. New York have like... short buildings, very old buildings, variety of buildings but Tokyo is pretty new and tall and generic looking. I want to take more photos during day. So far I love the camera!

丸の内はなんか不思議な場所っていうか、大人なオフィス街なのにデパートだらけみたいな、、こんなに買い物するところがあるとこってそうそう世界でもないんじゃ!?日本って本当デパート文化すごい。はじめて有楽町の無印いったら巨大で買い物しまくってしまった、食器とか、、笑

東京のどこの主要駅降りても、同じデパートとブランド店と電気店と飲食店がありふれていて、これでもお客さんが入って、営業できてることが、本当にすごいと思うよ。
