This is a picture I took in Japan at Shinagawa train station around 10:00am. I am sure 99% of people working in Tokyo commute by train. If this is the image of Seattle commute the city and state governments are imaging, I don't know if I like it. Commuting scene reminds me of ants. At the peak time around 8:30, there will...

Mayumi broke her cellular phone today. She dropped her phone trying to clean up my dog's face. It is my fault or is it? Fortunately, phone does work. We need to replace the glass portion. That will be a lot cheaper than replacing the phone.

Over 12 million people live and work in Tokyo. This is one of the most populated cites in the world. There are so many people here.

The temperture reads 36C in Tokyo. That is 96.8F. It is readdy warm, especially when there are a lot of people. I miss Seattle.

It is 8:30 in the morning and the temperature is already 35C (95F). It will be another hot and humid day. This is a picture of the new tower being build in Tokyo. It will be the world tallest tower when it is done.

You got be shitting me. (Please execuse my language) The temp. went up to 38.5C in Tokyo today. That is over 101 F with humidity of over 70%. If you need to loose weight, just come here. You may die from the heat before you loose weight. People are walking like zombi ... including myself.

After almost 10 hours of flight, I have arrived in Japan. it is 90F here and humidity is like a steam bath. I will sleep soon, as I have a few appointments already tomorrow. This is a picture of the bus I took from the airport to the hotel.
