The French Embassy in Tokyo moved into a new compound back in November and a team of artists was brought in to transform the old building into a work of art. My girlfriend and I went last weekend to check it out. It was pretty cool. 'No Man's Land.' Check it out before they wrap up on February 18th....
It's not exactly 'Snowmageddon' like on the East Coast, but this much snow is fairly rare in Tokyo. It is the most snow since I have have been here. That was last week and now it is already back to normal, save the few spots in the shadows that haven't melted.
