First day in Tokyo
First full-day in Tokyo, completely free for walking around and trying to realize where I am. :)
Before coming, I collected some useful information about Japan from some friends. I remember Inda told me that in Tokyo all life is focused around the train stations, and when you are far from them, they are normally peaceful residential areas... and he was completely right. :)
I live in that part of the neighbourhood, the peaceful residential area (apart from the big avenue behind my building)... and then when you start walking to the station, you start finding more and more people, as well as shops... until you get to the station. (see pictures as follows, all taken in the same street)
Close to the station, I found our friend Mc (my first visitors will love it :D), and Café Sands. Maybe they are my relatives and I had no clue about that. :)
But finally I decided to try some real stuff. :)
Today I liked what I saw quite more than yesterday. But I still think it's quite chaotic, without any order... But that mess looks nice... apart from the cables. I see cables all around the place. Is it just me?
Tomorrow it's time to start working again... I am even eager to that. O_o

ps: checked the suicide stuff, it is true, never heard about it before though. weeeeeird!
@Serena: Thanks! The food looks nice, and it's quite tasty. At the moment, I have been able to avoid all the really hot stuff... :)
@Ziyi: Yes! In fact, in origin the pictures were made thinking in the umbrella thing. :) Here, you can find both sides of the story: people using umbrellas to protect from the sunshine and people with transparent umbrellas while raining. O_o
@Szilvus: Szia! You missed the first day because you were sunbathing in Sthlm! :P Thanks for commenting. :) Btw., of course what I told you about suicides is true! I don't lie. Wait some time, and I might write about all that here. :) Puszi!
Nacho!! Qué tal por uno de los barrios mas pijos de la capital nipona?
Lo de los cables, es por si hay un terremoto... que si estan enterrados, es mas dificil repararlos despues de un terremoto que si estan fuera y solo hay que poner mastiles :)
Asi de facil!
Mecagüenlá...
¡¡¡que inglés más culto y más británico que tiene mi Nachoooo!!!
qué envidia :D
Un besazo
Sorry for writing in Spanish...
Qué barbaridad, ya sólo te va a quedar Australia y Nueva Zelanda para poder sentirte realizado, porque a este paso también vas a conquistar Japón. A mí me gustaría quedarme una temporadita allí, un par de meses aproximadamente, tiempo suficiente para ver cómo es aquello, disfrutarlo y no agobiarme pensando que no me termino de adaptar y que, si eso pasa, pronto volvería a algo que me resultara más familiar.
De todas formas cada vez siento más interés por la cultura japonesa, en especial por la comida. Dios, qué pintas tiene todo lo que te comiste. Por lo menos la apariencia es similar al sushi que compro y como aquí en Alemania. No termino aún de convencer a mi compi de despacho japonés para que nos prepare sushi, el tío dice que es muy difícil, así que hasta ahora sólo he disfrutado de una cena japonesa tradicional en casa del otro japo del instituto, y de otra en el restaurante que tenemos aquí en Bayreuth.
Nacho, que vaya bien la cosa. Take care!
@Raph: ¡Qué listos son estos japoneses! Piensan en todo... Pues ya no mando más fotos de cables.
@Paticas: Inglés británico el que te vas a traer tú de Inglaterra... ;)
@Clausius: Jejeje. Yo, de momento, no me agobio más que por el idioma. Creo que seis meses comiendo sin saber lo que como, puede llegar a cansarme. Y lo de Australia... cuidado. ;)
