From my recent travels in Japan. As seen in the SE thread but reposted with a few others here.

sigh, in white too.
it is a sad sad day.

I miss Tokyo, and Japan.

apart from the people and old friends, the thing i miss most is the food, japanese food in london is ok, just, i just remember sushi and tempura eaten at 5am at tsukiji market, with the bustle of the market in the background, it was sooooo good !

Sadly shows the difference in culture around bikes, if those were in London I suspect the pic's could just as easily appear under 'how not to lock your bike'.
