This cube is supposed to be some bizarre aquarium. The white spots and shapes are the fish. They float around and swim aroun like normal fish do, except when you touch the cube. They will then swim to that place and wiggle around in that area until you let go of the cube.

Neat huh? The cube become other colors as well.

You can find this cube by the JR Shinjuku west exit between the Keio mall and the Odakyu mall.

Yup those are the blossoms. These ones are the white colored type. They are more popular as pink but are more common as white.

Another lantern shot. Sorry, it was sakura season so lots of sakura festivals which means a lot of lanterns especially if that festival includes a light-up (where places are being lit-up).

Sakura is the Japanese term for cherry blossoms which is probably the national flower of Japan. The sakura only blooms for one week once a year.which is why the Japanese flock and cuss over these flowers.

I love love love the reflections on the bus’s windshield. Taken also in Nakano.

Sakura season is here and each town is having a sakura festival!

This is in Nakano (where the cheapest 2nd hand camera shop in Tokyo can be found). Each lantern represents a donor I guess.

Just reminded me of the device used in Star Trek. Hehe.

That is actually a pillar I turned upside-down. So no, they are not stairs but they do look better as stairs. You never go wrong with train stations near Shinjuku then fancify everything like modern art.

Or rather.. that’s one big love. LOL! That’S a pop art sculpture found in Nishi-Shinjuku (West Shinjuku). More information here.

Taken using a fish-eye lens for mobile (one that I lost huhuhu).

Looks dangerous but mostly it’s safe here in Japan, even in Tokyo.

And… I apologize for the long long hiatus. ^^; Despite me not posting here, I still kept shooting pictures with my babies (cellphones).

I will be going somewhere for a week, but have prepared some scheduled entries to keep up with the daily posts. Hope you still enjoy them.

Takoyaki vendor. Takoyaki are balls made from flour, egg and lot of ingredients with a piece of octopus in the middle.

It’s really amazing how the vendor makes them round while cooking. They have to be real fast.

Yup my creativity just ran out. I can’t think of a decent title. Argh!

There are trinkets sold in a festival booth. Don’t think they’re charms. Just trinkets I guess. As Japanese luuurrrvveee cute stuff.
