        Do You Know The Way To Tokyo....

       Well, these are the pictures from my third trip to Tokyo.  It was alright.  Personally, I'm a suburb kinda' guy so this prison of concrete and metal was a nice place to visit but nowhere I'd like to lay down a home.  I spent the afternoon with Satomi in Tokyo.  She took me to Asakusu (an old part of Tokyo with one of the oldest shopping areas in Japan), Shinjuku, and a place called Harajuku where all the "Strange Japanese Youth" hang out.  Take a peek.
 
 
 
A beautiful Temple in the Asakusa Shopping Area also known as the Kaminari Mon ("The Thunder Gate" in English).   I recommend that anyone who visits Tokyo must stop and take a stroll through this well preserved piece of Japan's History.  For all you Samurai freaks, there's an excellent Sword Replica shop in the middle of the shopping area ^_^x
Hey, Look at these "Gyaku-Pandas" or backwards pandas in English.  This is  a strange style that the Japanese youth are into right now.  You tan your skin until it's dark brown or almost black, dye your hair to a light brown or blonde, and put white make up around your eyes.  Another Word for these girls would be "Gan-Guro," I think that might translate to black face.  Thank you for being so photogenic girls.  You have now been immortalized in my World of Giant Pandas!
Wow, Mama!  Check her out.  Does this women in White match your image of subservient Japanese women?  Probably not.  I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "What's so special about  this girl, she'd be 'Normal' In America."  Well, this is Japan and this type of style and way of thinking has Japanese parents teachers in an uproar.
