spring in tokyo

Spring is arguably the best season of the year to visit Tokyo. Apart from the beautiful cherry blossom, the weather is pleasantly mild. Below, some snapshots from there.

Election time in Tokyo doesn't necessarily mean dirty streets full of pamphlets. Below, an ad board designed for the placement of politicians' ads. Oh, and by the way, hard-liner politician Shintaro Ishihara got reelected as Tokyo governor.

    Fala Ken, parece que vai rolar mesmo. Já voltei para Cingapura, mas enquanto estava lá pude ver a cobertura do encontro Matsuzaka vs. Ichiro (no qual aliás Dice-K decepcionou). Brincadeira, eles passaram o replay de "todos" os 'at bats' entre os dois da época quando eles jogavam no Japão. abs, Nelson
