Just Got to Japan!
Well, here I am! After a 14 hour plane flight and three meals in the sky, I am hanging out in my room at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo. The journey went very well. We had a long delay at the airport in Newark and arrived here at 8pm Tuesday night. I went for a walk around the hotel neighborhood with my friend Josh, a first grade teacher from Maine.

The question is not "Are you smart" but "How are you smart?"- Mr Joe spreads Smarties to Japan!

What do you think this is?
Josh noticed this bike. What makes it unique?

Cool!
ReplyDeleteThe back wheel is small. What's up with that? The previous picture seems to be a button to push to cross the street. It must be for the blind. Maybe if the blind push the button it emits a auditory signal that it is safe/not safe to cross the street?
ReplyDeleteYou got it, Marc! It's safe to cross the street, just really busy.

ReplyDeleteMake sure you take pictures of interesting t-shirts..I've heard Japan is home to numerous!

ReplyDeleteThe bike is unique because the back week is much smaller than the front one. And to go with the previous photo, I think the button is a button that blind people push when they are crossing the street and the button triggers some thing that possibly helps the person get to the other side.
That 9th pic makes me want to cry.
