Country Goes to Town

The first week we were here we had to take the train into Tokyo to visit a bank (to get a bank account) and company headquarters.  I thought we had to go to the American Embassy too, but apparently we can just call or email them to tell them we are here.  A company representative went with us and taught us how to ride the trains and subways, which is good, because otherwise we might still be wandering around under Tokyo.  We are going to try it by ourselves sometime in the next few weeks.

a shrine next to company headquarters

that tower you can barely see just to the right of the big skyscraper
is the Sky Tree aka New Tokyo Tower

recess on top of a a skyscraper - bad pic, but those are kids playing

gardens in the sky, these are all from company headquarters at Iidabachi

I think we were around Akihabara here, headed home
