Konbanwa!
It is 7:30 p.m. Tokyo time, and I just got back from the Imperial Palace, Ueno, and Asakusa. I did, of necessity, spend part of the day riding the rails. There is so much to tell about not only today, but also other topics that I have wanted to cover, but haven't seemed a priority although they are unique to Japanese culture. So, instead of having a sequence here, I'm just going to write about what pops into my mind first.
There is nothing, I believe, that gets a traveler more in touch with a city than traveling to various parts of it throughout a day, or many days, by the subway. One just emerges from under the street and sees a new and different part of it. So, for all of my readers who need more visuals, here are more subway photos. These were taken early in the day for Tokyo (around 9:00 a.m.); this is definitely a late night city.
What I notice here? No trash or garbage cans! How do the Japanese rate in "living green"? I know is some countries there is no such thing as styrofoam or to-go cups. Is it this way here?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful kimonos and fabric! I can imagine how pretty they are in person.

ReplyDeleteIt is very clean in Japan. The Japanese people are just clean people in general. When they have trash, they put it in a trash can, or they carry it with them until they find one. We wouldn't throw trash inside our homes would we? Well, the Japanese are so connected to Nature as being part of them, they would never think of littering! I think littering is a conscious source, and not a good one to make for any of us.
ReplyDeleteI'll have more pictures of kimonos later.
well thats very odd ! Does it look anything like Hawaii? I wonder if they do some of the same things?
