My time in Tokyo was well spent, I saw many of the things I wanted to plus more. It is a crazy city where simply the shear size of it will blow your mind, with plenty of things to do for all kinds of people, young and old. Cycling about the city had to be done cautiously at first as there were rules for cyclists that I needed to bide by however after a couple of days I ignored them and enjoyed getting stuck in the mess of traffic.

Above is a picture I have been wanting to capture for several years, it shows simply a Godzilla over the skyline of tokyo, it took me roughly 4 hours and 50 or so attempts but because I had no reference point it was extremely difficult to draw. anyway, I am happy with the end result.

I would like to write more but I think that the pictures posted below depict my time in the Japanese capital well… also I am lazy.
