Tokyo

Guitar Hero Not a very good picture, but a great memory for me. These guys were lined up at the BX diplay to play guitar hero. It was awesome!	Vending Machine at the Fussa train station to get to Tokyo fromYakota, most of the drinks are a form of tea	Except for this... Pocari Sweat became one of our drinks for choice. It's like a weak gatorade. Needs a better name though!
Tokyo tower	Imperial Palace Gardens This was in front of the Imperial Palace Gardens gate. It was so beautiful and clean and green.	Tokyo is still booming There was a lot of building going on.
Ginormous walls The picture doesn't do it justice, but these walls were huge. It was really impressive.	Still in the gardens...	A cool building
Love the roof...	Hey... are those Japanese Koi?	Outside the gardens...
Grave offense... Dave and I had to laugh as this guy relieved himself on the lawn. Of course, in India this is an everyday, every hour, every body occurance, but in Japan it received this response...	Hey... stop that! This police officer was loudly blowing his whistle and running after the older offender, who finished his business, waved off the officer and continued on his merry way. The officer was not pleased.	Imperial Palace bridge We were told we'd get good photos of the Imperial Palace from this spot, but we couldn't even see the palace aside from the next two shots. It was still very pretty.
The Imperial Palace	Palace close up	Ticket This bicycle cop, rode down this traffic offender, and the guy actually stopped! We are not in India anymore!
Nice clean pond!	Oh my! Would you look at this litter! I can't believe people would do that! Actually, this was about the only litter we saw the entire trip.	Japanese Kit Kat
Shinjuku This is like Times Square in NYC (never been, but that's what I'm told)	Great buildings	Electronics anyone?
Metro map Japan's public transportation is a model of efficiency and convenience. A very confusing map, if you don't read Japanese.	Masses using mass transportation	On the crowded Metro
Me on the metro notice how everyone wears black? It was crazy to see... and all the women wear incredibly impractical high heels with EVERYTHING they wear.	Japanese Cemetary	Tokyo LDS Temple It was so close to the street, it was difficult to get a good picture.
