Tokyo montage
I don't know how to remember Tokyo by.
The food? - which was fantastic and cheap compared to the Japanese food in Singapore of the same quality.
The people? - who on the surface are so civic-minded and polite but underneath it all, I think they are still human, very much so.
The sights? - at once, old and new, traditional and modern, spacious and cramped.
Perhaps the moments? - when all senses become saturated with novel stimulants that awaken long forgotten awareness.

New Year divinationsI am not entirely sure if I just miss traveling or the places that I visit.
Maybe it is true that the journey is more than the destination. But to lead a wandering life, like a vagabond, doesn't quite qualify as an ambition.

looks like you had fun time in Tokyo...be lated happy 2007!
CSC: It'll be really interesting to see how much Tokyo did (or did not) change since 1986. It's worth a re-visit...
mp147: Happy 2007! I must realise my intention of visiting York while you're still there.
