Good morning. It’s an overcast day in Tokyo today and getting cold, finally! In case you didn’t know, I like cold weather. Anything between 0 and 10 degrees celsius is just about the ideal climate for me. This is Shinbashi station as seen from the Keihin-Tohoku line this morning. Technically, it’s not the station but the area in front of the station, but anyway. Notice the Steam Locomotive? That’s commemorative of the fact that Shinbashi was the first train station in Japan. The first train line ran from Shinbashi station to what’s now Sakuragicho station. I think I’m the only person who takes pictures on the train during morning rush hour. Do you think that’s weird? Speaking of Shinbashi, don’t forget THIS. Have a nice day!
I do not think it is weird…In fact, I love looking at your photos. Maybe since you have new digi cams you will take more photos!

thanks jonas. yeah the new camera is great so there will definitely be more pictures of truly uninteresting things on the way!

haha, that is a funny flash movie
WTF??
That Steam Locomotive sure does look out of place in the heart of Tokyo! And I love that cat movie, I found it a while ago, and have been sending it to my Japanese friends ever since. It’s a great way to score ‘cool’ points with the Japanese.
