The shop deals with Japanese foods, and hang cloth in front of the shop so that sun rays don't hurt foods for sale in the show case.

A building at Ginza, in Tokyo

I took this photo two days ago, when it was rather hot for May. When I walk in a town, I surprisingly happened to watch the skinny building melting down!! So I rushed into taking this photo...

It is just a kidding:-) This is De Beers building and sits on just next to the Mikimoto building.

Oh, Claudia, at Ginza, in Tokyo

I passed in front of the showcase of Chanel in Ginza and came across the woman, Claudia Shiffer, a German supermodel. Just after she was selected to become the new face of Chanel very early in her career, she went on to become a world-famous supermodel. She reached the height of her popularity during the 1990s. She seemed to come back to Chanel.

Torch relay in Japan

On Friday, the torch was arrived in Japan and yesterday the relay has ended in Nagano, a host of 1998 winter Olympic, with at least four injured people.

I watched the relay on TV and the ceremony, followed by more than 3,000 police, was occasionally stopped by protests but went on more peaceful than expected.

Just my desk top on weekend....

Yesterday I watched some movies on my Mac, very relaxed...

Have a nice weekend!

Low tunnel at Shibaura, in Tokyo

This tunnel is very low and taxi drivers are very unwilling to run through the tunnel. A taxi with only a guest will not pass through it but the car with three can pass through, because the added weight slightly make the car go down.

By the way, excuse not for sharing photos for a long time. I am back and the browser has come to. From now I will upload photos as usual. Thank you for your patinece.

Something wrong with my browser...

Excuse me not for uploading photos for a long time, but I cannot because there are something with my browser. I'm Mac user and use Safari and FireFox as browsers. Could you wait for my photos for some time?

People asking for lunch at Ohtemachi, in Tokyo

Some business districts, such as Ohtemachi and Shiodome, have less places for having lunch, so when lunch time, many food stalls come out.
