[fangorangutang]

Great pics. Tokyo, and Japan, never cease to amaze.

[crossword]

Great pictures!
Though I'm living in Japan, Tokyo is something different from other city.
Too enormous and restless, always something new!

[RS-steph35]

thanks :)

Tokyo is something different from other city.
Location: Osaka-Kobe area
you know what you are talking about, i was there too and yes, Kansai Bay area doesn't look like Tokyo... i was quite surprised... agreably... as a result i have tons of pics of Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto... many more :D... strange metropolitan area... coming soon in an other thread...

to go back on Tokyo, it's probably the most arranged city, however it looks so chaotic... a pleasure to have been there :)

Thanks :)

@Shawn : In France there's a "proverb" that says : "Le Monde est petit", which means "The World is small"... seems to be right :D

two small sets, one "Along Sumida River" and an other very short "Along the JR Chuo-Sobu Line from Suidobashi to Ochanomizu" just to see the Foster's Century Tower :angel:...

Nice photos, beautiful city!

I plan on going to Tokyo next year, and August is the only time I'm able, thanks to school and work. How is the climate? Is it too warm, would you go back in August?

[skellergroup]
