I saw more smiles and heard more laughs here than anywhere else in Japan. After being around grumpy old zangyo for a month, this was soooo refreshing.
Old man Sam with his sweet medium format camera. Highlight of the day was getting a thumbs up from him. (Close second was being offered a tripod to take pictures... a super rare gesture of kindness)

One of the few pictures I took on my Yamanote excursion. I was determined to ride the JR Yamanote Line, a train line that loops around metro Tokyo, all the way and take pictures at each station. I fell asleep about halfway through, woke up at a random station, and got some ramen.
