Stranger in a Strange Land

Tifftown takes you off the farm today and into urban Tokyo! (We'll update with stories of escaping turkeys and something digging holes in my peppers later ...) So, thank goodness for iphones. Here comes your Tokyo Tour! And so we begin with those unusual little vehicles and some urban architecture.

Double decker bike parking. How cool is that?

Movin' on up ...

Typical city side street:

So not the kind of truck I see around our town. I mean, how cute is this?

More bikes and flowers.

Apparently one can get anything in a vending machine. Remember cigarette vending machines? Really a thing of the past in the U.S. But not in Japan!

Tokyo Tower, ooh la la!

Urban landscaping:

Side of a vending machine.

Now that's a mini-van!

More vending machines.

Michael took a walk down to the fish market. Here are some boats parked. It was a quiet Sunday.

Dressed up little dogs are all the rage here. Michael says he sees them everywhere. Here's a little doggie denim action:

Apparently lots of warning meant for drunk English speaking people and their precocious children are posted all over the market. We must be a big problem!

Some official building.

More fish!

Lunch before ...

Lunch after ... ha ha! Sort of kidding.

And if only he could still drink beer! Now, these vending machines might be what's prompting all the signage directed to drunken pedestrians on forklifts and whatnot.

Always fun to photo the toilets abroad.

A Tokyo park.

And not sure what the warning is here. But whatever it is, don't do it! It will make your cats sad.
