I borrowed a cord from a new friend so now I can upload pictures. I now realize that many of them are not in focus, so perhaps I should refrain from using the programmable mode on my camera unless I can be still and focussed while taking the picture.

This is the building for a certain branch of Buddhism that we passed on the way to Tsukiji the first time, a couple of Sundays ago. I got really excited because I thought it was the Nickolai Cathedral, the only Russian Orthodox church in Tokyo, because it had a dome, but it wasn't. Still, it's neat looking.

Possibly the snazziest looking bridge and escalator in the world. This was near the metropolitan center of Tokyo, there is a picture posted earlier of me from the top of this structure.

This would be the snazziest koban (police box) in the world. if you look closely you can see Alex and me reflected in it from the coffee shop window. The man sitting next to us was a very unhappy-looking fellow from the UK. I would have thought he had jet-lag but he said he has been here for several weeks... maybe he was just hung over.

I really liked this aquarium, but there was no way to get it without people in the way. I think my results were alright, even though maybe I didn't capture all of the lovely fish contained therein. This was also taken on that Sunday, and was in front of the Sony building of course.
Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise.
*sorry*

Possibly the most misleading thing ever put on a map-
Godzilla Statue. In retrospect I think all of these photos were taken on Saturday. Upon referring to my earlier blogs I discover that these next pictures were taken in Hibiya Park, a most surprising and pleasing place.



Since the time I took this picture I have seen many inexplicable things, but this still perplexes me. Why would they put a statue of Romulus and Remus in Hibiya Koen? The answer: Why not? Just like the rune stone.


I loved Hanazono Jinja, especially the small fox shrine. And its stone lanterns:

And its stone foxes:

And its cute little fox shrine:

A general shot in the direction of one of the gates out of Hanazono jinja, on the left of the main gate is where I found the amazing kimono selection, on the right the kabuki photos.

That's all for now, I must sleep before more orientation tomorrow or I will just sleep through it.

Oh, Anna, these are just great! I LOVE the fox shrine. What are the meanings attached to the fox there?
I also enjoyed very much your Chuck Norris joke. Excellent, must remember and use when appropriate.
