Light pollution
Ginza again
I have been on enough trains already today and already taken enough photos today so this evening I just went on a stroll to Ginza and back. I was there a couple of weeks ago, in the rain, no rain tonight.
On my journey I observed all the xmas decorations reflecting off the night sky, thus making all the starlink satellites invisible. Jesus and or Colonel Sanders would both be thrilled that Japan goes to such lengths to celebrate the day.
There is a giant new building under construction at the start of the Ginza street, I cannot tell what it is, it is too thick / fat to be just shops or apartments, but also too architectural and curvy to be a government office. Maybe it is the headquarters formed the newly for tourist police?
Coredo spans several blocks, all joined up underground.
Just one of thousands of areas with trees strangled by lights.
Still part of Coredo.
The start of the main bit. I saw a couple of Ferrari's getting parking tickets. I have a feeling it would be a very low fine in Japan.
Crap photo, I cut off the top of the building.
If you visit Ginza, give the surrounding streets a look too, not just the main one. It has expanded into 2 or 3 blocks wide.
There was a sign claiming this was an art installation, and seemingly only one person at a time was allowed inside the barrier.
Refer to my previous comment, this is a street that runs parallel to the Ginza main street.
And finally for my dinner, BEAN curry. Well that is what it translated to, but it is lentil based vegetarian curry, with extra salad on the side that I think they gave me because I had to wait a while. It was excellent.
Tomorrow is NOT a hiking day. I like typing in all caps a lot today.
