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.

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.

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.

Another picture taken from that walking overpass that leads to Yoyogi park.

This is the Yoyogi Olympic Center, which you walk by on your way from Shibuya to Yoyogi park. As I was walking by that day, they were putting up the structure for the Cirque du Soleil show.

This picture was taken from the walking overpass that leads to Yoyogi Park when you’re coming from Shibuya (having walked by NHK Hall).
