Tokyo by Night



 
<


The last City I visited in 2012 was Tokyo and what a great ending to an adventurous travel year. Tokyo is amazing, so dazzling, modern, clean, fashionable, crowded yet efficient and disciplined. The people are so gracious and polite that you almost forget the downside, how insanely price everything is. 
On of the highlights for me was when I saw a scramble crossing for the first time (the world busiest in Shibuya seen on the first photo) I was blown away, what a beautiful sight. When the light hits green hundreds of people start to walk in all directions weaving together in a huge organic mass and then the light hits red and everyone stops (people follow the traffic rules here unlike Shanghai where they are irrelevant) it´s like watching a huge well organized flash mob. 
Did I mention the food is great and the shopping options are endless. I definatly recommend a visit to this fantastic city, I am so going again. Stay tuned for the Tokyo by Day post.
