mystery train

January 14th, 2006 | Category: Personal

I’m in Tokyo for work this week. Travelling with Chris and John, and meeting up with the Mozilla Japan team.

I was here once before, when I was seven. The only thing I remember of that trip is getting on a bullet train with my dad. I’m excited to fill in the blanks.

When I travel, I like getting out in the early morning by myself to walk the streets, take photos and let the place wake up around me. So here are some shots I took on my first day’s walkabout in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo.

Many observations already - and if you’re reading this and have some tips on out of the way stuff to do or see, let me know.

Update: John’s posted some more photos of our first day in Tokyo.

    Cool pics. You should check out the Shibuya district in Tokyo. That place is unreal…fashion…music…culture…lightyears beyond.

    Great pictures, Paul. What kind of camera do you shoot?

    Did you get breakfast sushi at tsujiki fish market?

    Hey Seamus: I shoot a del crappo 2003 vintage Canon Powershot Elph but I have mad Photoshop skills. :-) We did indeed have breakfast at Tsujiki. I love sushi but having it at 7 am was not my favorite thing. My co worker John took photos of our breakfast (about 1/2 way down the page).
