Optimization

I wonder what algorithm is Google Map using to produce such a walking path (in black) from Ginza station to point B in the bottom right... any guess?

Caciocavallo!!!

Caciocavallo in Tokyo: 200 grams, 880 yen (about 8.67 Euro, 11.2 USD)... No comment! 

The best Matsuri dancer. Ever!

Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival

Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival (隅田川花火大会) is one of the biggest fireworks event in Japan, if not the biggest.
This year the fireworks were dwarfed by the Tokyo Sky Tree. It was very nice seeing how "small" the fireworks looked compared to the 634 meter tall tower.

Do you see the helicopter? 

Donut for breakfast

A wonderful donut eclipse, this morning.

And this is a short timelapse of the event.

Tokyo Marathon 2012 - the craziest event ever!!!

I could not believe my eyes when I saw so many people dressed up for the event. There was even a bare-foot Jesus Christ running with a full size wooden cross on his shoulders!!!

Here he is! Can you see the cross?
