It was 70F and very comfortable so I decided to walk before it gets warm. I was not planning but I walked about 4 miles from my hotel in Akasaka to Tsukiji. Here are some picture I took on the way.
This airport is only $6 away from the Da-an Hotel.
Very convenient.
I arrive in Tokyo Haneda Airport.
I took monorail to Hamamatsucho and took a cab broom there to the hotel.
I am very tired ... I will try to recover using Sunday tomorrow.
From the 91 st floor of Taipe 101.
This is as high as a visitor can go.UYou have to climb 2 floors to get here.This is what you see looking down from the 90th floor staircase.
I am traveling to Tokyo tomorrow.
Taipei just remind me of old Japan when I was glowing up.
I don’t feel like I am in different country.
I do not know know very much about this country.
I need to come more often.
Well, I think I have a business idea.
Another thing I noticed was, people here love Japan.
We used to think that japan has very little natural resources so the power must be generated using resources using imported materials such as oil and gas. That was one of the biggest drive to push Japan into using nuclear power.
With new technologies and researches, there are more resources arrounding Japan. There is not need to rely on nuclear enegergy ,... but because there are so many companies relying on the nuclear businesses, Japan cannot just drop nuclear solutions.
There is a separation of religion and government, there should be a separation of business and government. Government is not bad. Business is not bad. But when they work together, bad things happen.

Stay away ... This explain why tattoos are not allowed at public bath.
Many of the Fuzoku I tased about is run by Yakuza ... So I was told.
But you do not really now that. Yakuza would not like you (customer) to be scared.
Prostitution in Japan has existed throughout the country's history. While the Anti-Prostitution Law of 1956 states that "No person may either do prostitution or become the customer of it," loopholes, liberal interpretations and loose enforcement of the law have allowed the sex industry to prosper and earn an estimated 2.3 trillion yen ($24 billion) per year.
In Japan, the "sex industry" (fuzoku 風俗, literally "public morals") is not synonymous with prostitution. Since Japanese law defines prostitution as "intercourse with an unspecified person in exchange for payment," most fuzoku offer only non-coital services, such as conversation, dancing, or bathing, to remain legal.
NOTE: But remember "Prostitution Selling/Buying" is illegal in Japan. You just need to know what prostitution mean.
