Exploring Tokyo

Since my last post I've been spending the days getting to know the different areas that comprise Tokyo. Unexpected I was invited to a typical Japanese neighbourhood festival which was interesting in addition the usual sights around the skyscapers, shrines and Imperial Palace. There's still plenty more on the to-see list and once I've got through those there's Kyoto to contend with which is from what I've heard and read really the cultural and historical capital of Japan.

I've been uploading a lot of photos recently - both the latest from Japan and adding to the photos I took earlier on in Russia, so I hope you've been enjoying those. The address is http://www.flickr.com/photos/eurobahn/sets/ (hopefully you'll all get the hyperlink this time). There's lots more to come but to avoid tourist burn out I've taking the sightseeing fairly gently at the moment and not cramming too much in - although it didn't help that yesterday both the Imperial Palace Gardens and the Modern Art Museum were shut!!! More luck tomorrow I hope!
