I took this picture a few days ago, but just uploaded it tonight. Beauty like this can catch you in the most unexpected times and places. It was just a routine evening. I was returning home from another day at work. As I got off the crowded train at Ogikubo [...]

I’m busy getting ready for another round of tests at my high school. (Uggh…be nice, Andrew…) Ok. Anyway, I will do my best to post, but I might not have much time to write for the next couple days…
For now, check out this picture. I thought it was interesting. I [...]

My high school is near Tamagawa Station, in the outskirts of Tokyo. To get there, there are two options: The Seibu Line (run by a private company that also owns a baseball team and a number of stores and other interests), and a monorail. I usually take the Seibu Line.

I could post 1000 pictures of Shinjuku, but I wouldn’t be able to accurately portray the contrasts. World class dining and shopping, pachinko parlors, bars, and more places to waste money than you could [...]
