  • Ziboy

    —

    I’ve really been enjoying the Ziboy photo weblog. A great look at life in Beijing.

  • Taxis

    —

    Picture taken just outside of Ueno park.

  • EAT 13

    —

    Today I picked up the new issue of EAT, the exile issue. Once again it sports terrific packaging, this time coming inside a brown envelope, and the magazine itself looking like files. I love this magazine.

  • Spring

    —

    Today is actually the first really nice day that makes it feel like Spring has finally arrived. It’s not very warm, maybe around 12 or 13 degrees, but it just feels like a nice day, and I have the windows in the apartment open. They’re saying it’s going to get as warm as 17 tomorrow,…

  • Japanese News for Children

    —

    Just a few minutes ago, as I was surfing channels on TV, I caught a Japanese news show for kids that was explaining the war to them. Above are a few pictures of the props that were used in the explanation.

  • Edo-Tokyo Museum

    —

    This is another picture of the Edo-Tokyo Museum, which I visited a few weeks ago. It really is an interesting building. The red tunnel leading up that you see in the middle is the entrance to the museum. It’s actually quite a long escalator ride to get to the exhibition area.

  • Bicycles

    —

    Just as in China, people use bicycles a lot here in Japan. In a city like Tokyo where lots of the neighborhood streets tend to be so narrow, a bike is simply the easiest way to get around. This picture was taken in Kawagoe city, just outside of Tokyo.

  • Tokyo Boy Archives

    —

    For those wondering what’s happened to all of the Tokyo Boy daily pics archives, I just haven’t included them in the new design yet. I think I’m going to make a special page for them, as I don’t really want to include them in the present scheme.
