Photos from my recent neighbourhood walk.

Friday, 24 July 2009
We had a couple of not-that-hot days last week, so I went for a walk with my camera. Visiting the local temple gave me a nice calm feelings, finding some new things such as sento (public bath) and an empty land now filled with sunflowers made me smile big. It's so interesting how much new stuff I find in my own area though I've been living here for so long.

Stephanie is in Tokyo! Check out her lovely blog for wonderful images of Tokyo :)

I'm planning a holiday, I will be going to Vietnam this time - so excited!

Well, it's already Friday night here in Tokyo. I need a drink now, hope you have a lovely weekend on your sides of the world!

    your neighborhood looks so nice. I imagine Japan to be completely in these nice old-fashioned film colours since I've started reading your blog! what a nice place it must be.

    Lovely neighbourhood you have there! I see that it has a temple, pretty sunflowers and quaint cafes :) What is the shop that is shaped like a strawberry? Recently I'm starting to appreciate my neighbourhood too, for the comfort and peacefulness it gives me :)
