Any Bed Will Do
I decided to start posting some of the pictures I have taken since arriving in Japan. Perhaps one every day or two. Everyweek will consist of a different set with a theme tieing the pictures together. The first set will consist of homeless and passed out salarymen pictures I took in Tokyo at the end of July. If you have any specific interests, please let me know and I will see if I can oblige you.

Akihabara - An Otaku's Paradise
We jet to the land of bright lights, loud music, maid cafes, and questionable manga shops. Akihabara or as I like to call it Akiba is a surreal experience that might leave you deaf and blind after only a few hours. Come enjoy the land of otaku where cosplay is ok any day.

Off to Shinjuku in Tokyo, Japan
The Gaijin Guide travels to Shinjuku and Kabuki Cho.
Come take a look at Japan and its urban metropolis.
Shinjuku (新宿区) is home to the world's busiest railway station (seeing over 2 million passengers a day), some of Tokyo's tallest buildings, and the Metropolitan Government Office, which has two observation floors that offer stunning views of the metropolis and are free to the public. Other notable sights and stops in this ward are the gigantic department and discount electronic stores including Yodobashi Camera. Also located right around Shinjuku Station is KabukiCho.
Kabukicho (歌舞伎町) is a red-light district, which houses many hostess bars, host bars, and love hotels. It is also a major shopping, restaurant, and nightclub area as well. The district's name comes plans to build a kabuki theater on is present spot in the late-1940s. Though the theater was never built, the name stuck.
