Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge over Tokyo Bay from Ariake/Odaiba

No Man's Land





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....

Fuji from Kuji

Yesterday I took my new bike for a ride through my old neighborhood, Kuji, and got a great view of Fuji-san. Good stuff.

Snowmageddon??


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.

You can't beat the 150円 hotdog set or the free drink refills. Ikea rocks. Now they just need to make quality furniture....
