Two Japans

We're back in Paris. Eleven hours of naps, movies, and mediocre meals and we were back in France, buying warm baguette from the bakery and doing laundry. Do we really have to go back to work already?

I have literally just filled up the hard drive on my computer with all the photos from the trip, but for now, here are just two. We left Steve, Yoshimi and Karina in Izumo on Saturday morning, and landed two hours later in Tokyo. It felt pretty much like we'd arrived in another country.


Goodbye rice fields


Hello craziness~the famous Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, where you can cross in any direction, including diagonally.

Anyway, we had a great day in Tokyo with Pete, and by the time we rolled out of Ueno station on Sunday morning bound for Narita, we felt like we'd certainly made the most of our time in Japan. It's never long enough....

Would you believe Toronto is just as BIG CITY as Tokyo is - we have one at Yonge/Dundas now too!!
