Acting Like a Tourist

As most of you know I have started posting most of my touristy activities over at The Tokyo Traveler. For those of you that haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, here are some of the highlights of what I’ve been up to lately:

Hanami viewing at Chidorigafuchi near the Imperial Palace. Here are some of the trees (and a ton of people looking at them). I even got a shot of some of the rowboats in the Imperial Palace moat and I wished I was in one – it sure looked fun!

Shopping in Asakusa and checking out the local architecture. Check out the “flaming ornament” on the Asahi Breweries Building. What the heck is it?

I also tried to explain how to take the subway in Tokyo. It can be quite a challenge!

I went to see some Sumo yesterday and am working on a couple of posts. I have to wade through the 200+ photos that I took so they probably won’t be ready for a day of two. Stay tuned….
