Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital, is a vibrant metropolis where tradition and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. The city offers everything from futuristic skyscrapers and neon-lit districts to serene temples and historic neighborhoods. Shibuya and Shinjuku pulse with energy, featuring world-famous landmarks like the Shibuya Scramble Crossing and bustling entertainment hubs, while districts like Asakusa preserve Tokyo’s cultural roots with Senso-ji Temple, the city’s oldest Buddhist temple. Akihabara is a paradise for tech enthusiasts and anime fans, while Harajuku and Omotesando showcase cutting-edge fashion and design. Tokyo’s green spaces, such as Ueno Park and the Imperial Palace gardens, provide peaceful retreats amidst the urban landscape. Food lovers can enjoy everything from Michelin-starred dining to street food, including sushi, ramen, and izakaya delights. With its efficient transportation system, unique attractions, and ever-changing skyline, Tokyo is a city that constantly surprises and captivates visitors from all over the world.

Cup Sizes

All the cup sizes from Starbucks in Japan. I usually go for the short one. For my taste, I don’t see the point of anything beyond the Tall size. Actually they didn’t even sell Grande nor Venti until recently..

Seijin No Hi

The Coming of Age (成人の日 – Seijin no Hi) is a holiday held annually in Japan on the second Monday of January, to congratulate and encourage all those turning 20. This year’s celebration was more cheerful than last year’s, albeit the required masks.

The RF50mm f/1.2L is good but on the large side. So when I need to travel light, I use the RF50mm f/1.8 instead, a much smaller and lighter lens which still gives decent results on static subjects. Three food examples here.
