Graphic Tokyo

Everywhere you look in Tokyo you find something beautiful - the attention to detail, care and workmanship is unprecedented. I was fascinated just walking through the city, noticing things that you just can't find here in the states. There is no graffiti or vandalism - beautiful materials can be used without worry of being destroyed. Smoking isn't allowed just anywhere on the streets, you need to stand in a "smoking zone" - and people actually do it, not to mention I didn't see a single person jay-walk. There is no garbage on the streets (and barely any trash cans as far as I could tell), no homeless people, and virtually everywhere felt safe. It really makes you think about what is going on back here and why we can't have behave just a little bit better.

Yoyogi Park

the concrete work is beautiful

takeshita dori, so many people, such a tiny street

salmon treats, the food courts were stunning

vending machines for everything and anything
