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.

Like, no way?!

Colorful arrows along the station. I was hoping for a bit more movement but moving walkway is moving waaayy too sloooowww…

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

The lights in the ceiling and sides are all sun-formed. This can probably be the shopping district in the kingdom of sun.

But really, it’s a covered shopping walk in Nakano here in the Land of the Rising Sun. Close enough eh?

Not as creepy, dark and dank as one would imagine but yep this is an underground walkway. It connects several building and train stations in Nishi-Shinjuku.

This is my wind-shelter (kinda like a bomb shelter). I use this to escape the wind. You have no idea how windy Shinjuku can be. It made me hate winter even more. >.<

Millions of people zooming on. Only staying a few seconds, just enough to pass by.

First time I’ve used a custom ration instead of maintain the original one or at least a known/common one.

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.

I actually think more of Ginza as a tourist spot rather than a shopping district. Coz I can only get to watch and look rather than shop and buy. Haha!

I am soooo middle class. O_O

Festival fooooood! This one’s okonomiyaki. You just mixed everything plus the egg mixture until they become one big edible lump. ^^

One of the festival drummers. Each must have his/her movements in sync with each drum beat.

He’s a pro. Been drumming all his life.

Manong means big brother or old man. Taiko refers to the Japanese drums like the one you see in this picture.
