Caveat: Tokyo

I'm not really happy with this video, but I didn't spend much time on it.  I had trouble syncing the music track to it, but I really wanted to use that song.  Anyway, here's some random shots of Tokyo over the last few days.

Tomorrow, I leave on the shinkansen for Hiroshima.  I'll post from there, I guess.  I hit a few art museums, today.  Definitely worth it… I love art museums.  The visits got my mind working.   I'll see if I can write some thoughts or observations… but no promises.

Now I'm resting in my little hotel room and watching bad Japanese TV and trying to rememorize my kana.  It's weird, because over the past year I've been working on learning Korean hanja, which are the equivalent of the Japanese Kanji, and every time I try to read a sign, I pronounce the kanji in my mind in Korean, which doesn't work well with Japanese endings.  Not that I've really got that huge a vocabulary… I probably only have a hanja/kanji recognition of around 50 characters at the moment.

[Song with the video is Japanese Punk group Last Alliance's "Shissou"]
