As a human
[posted at 13:47 GMT]    

With the decision to write as a human and not as photographer I posting here few images from Tokyo where I am now. This weekend as a tourist I have more time than I will over the working week days.
I visited few places in Tokyo area today and had some experience in previous two days as well. I must say I like it here quite a lot. I try to enjoy as much as possible and trying to avoid all wester culture. That means I am eating japan's food, visiting normal places and trying to avoid shopping ;-) Well yes I went today to few shops to buy presents.


I just returned from dinner and being alone in restaurant I had to use only my fingers and pictures to make order. I have got excellent food and even I was bit uncertain what to order the two couples in next table made my day. I have order japan's food raw salmon with some fruit and than excellent soup which I have no idea what was it in, but tastes great. The four people in next table made order or cheese fondue. And there were fighting with it, not knowing how to eat it, when they decided to stop with it and made order of some traditional japan's food which they attacked with chop sticks :-)

I must say that I am looking more for places where it is less people, but it is rather difficult ;-)

I am making pictures with my Nikon, but also some with my phone to send home immediately some pictures over email. You can see few of them here. Quality is very low, but time to publish very short :-D

As I wrote I am enjoy everything what is from japan when I am here now. I am drinking a lot of green time and eating raw fish, rise and similar. One thing with which I didn't depart is espresso. I am happy to say that just next to the hotel at the entrance to Shinagawa station is small Segafredo Cafe. They making perfect espresso. I am enjoying it every day. Personal is very friendly. Very nice small place, exactly what I like. If you ever in Tokyo and you like to have great espresso, come here:
