    Buildings, music, shoes in Tokyo

    May 17 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Some observations about Tokyo:
    1) Had to snap photos of some very interesting buildings (only a few pictured).
    2) Godzilla is represented in a number of places around Tokyo. He started out as a destroyer of cities, then became a defender of those cities, but apparently, he's back to his old tricks as a building crusher.
    3) All restaurants--small or large, old or young crowd, cafe or pub--seem to prefer a smooth jazz sort of vibe, resulting in a weird throwback feel. (But that's, of course, only one person's opinion.)
    4) Shoe fashion du jour is white sneakers, honking big black platforms, and Crocs or knockoffs, often with a wedgy heel. (Only one picture so far, taken surreptitiously on the train by Gary. ) I'm so behind the times in my ordinary Sketchers and sandals.
