Tokyo, from Frenchy Eyes
Hi everyone! I have been reading Tokyo.Japan Times articles since its debut, which kindled my wish to go and visit Tokyo, and Japan. And at last, I managed to spend two wonderful weeks last month, in July, both in Tokyo and Kyoto.
So, I just wanted...
Club Photography: Art at Night
I am not really a club guy, not big on smokey places with really loud music. Despite that I cannot help but Iove the surreal environment that is created in good clubs. Dark and dingy, yes, but a great club event is hyper-real. It creates dream-li...
More Audio Tokyo 2010 Photos

Also if you are lucky, you get to see Odaiba Water Illumination show.
Water bus to Odaiba
One of the cool ways to get to Odaiba is not by a subway, but on a ship (called water bus, even though it does not look like a bus at all of course).
Going this route you can see nice views of Tokyo Bay, surrounding Tokyo areas and even pass under t...
