Japan Scene






Today we went to Shinjuku, which is one of the central business districts as well as a central shopping area and night time area. One picture is a central street in Shinjuku. It's about 20 minutes by local train.

One picture shows Mio relaxing in a message chair. It messaged arms, legs, back, neck, head, feet, etc. The only problem is the price: $3100!!!

Another shows Michael and Tommy in a watch/clock shop playing with kids' alarm clocks. It was amazing to see all the special talking, singing alarm clocks for kids. Some adults purchase these clocks as well.

Another shows a young couple in more traditional summer clothing heading down the street toward the train station. Mio said there was a large event with a large fireworks display going on tonight where people wear more traditional summer clothing. I have 2 such outfits. One was hand made by a friend from when I lived in Japan before.

Another picture is Michael borrowing one of Grandpa's bicycles. He bought it several years ago and has never used it. He has another bicycle that he currently uses, so he's going to loan this one to Michael. You can see Tommy trying to keep up with big brother.

Enjoy!
