Oh not much, what did you do this weekend?

Until now, Tokyo and I had been doing a lot of flirting and occasionally making out, but this weekend, we spent quite a bit of time together and took our relationship to the next level. I spent the weekend with my new city, and I can say with confidence "Upgrade!"

Here's a taste of what I got into, just wandering around seeing the sights with a soundtrack comprised mostly of Amy Winehouse, Badly Draw Boy, The Killers, Talking Heads, and Dustin Fisher's awesome new album :-)

I took a brief snooze on a round red couch with some new friends at 4:00am.

I spent some time with a frog fountain watching the city go by.


I had a beer under the tracks with some colorful characters


I saw the sun rise and the start of the commuter work day.

Then onto the colorful leaves in Ueno Park.

I had green tea at this gorgeous cafe overlooking the lily pond.

I tried my first roasted yam-potato type thing. Delicious!

I saw a swan feeding some ducks.

I was admiring the light in this section of the park when I heard....

Jewpanese music. And the ubiquitous crazy old Japanese dude.

Ah Tokyo, You are a freak. See you next weekend!
