Where are the people? o_O

I love your pictures from the Imperial Palace. They are gorgeous. And such a lovely day you had :). The third picture is breathtaking. You even see Tokyo Tower!

Thanks! It was early in the morning on a weekend and we were walking through purely business district, so not too many people. Don't worry, I have pics of huge crowds later ;)

A lot of things remind me of Singapore and Shanghi

Really? That's so interesting. I guess a lot of Asian cities must look the same. I really want to see Singapore and Shanghi.

Especailly in the more modern areas of the cities. I definetly agree. Singapore is amazing especially if you like eating and shopping. Shanghi is one of my favorate places, there is just so much of everything there.

I love the pics!! ^^ And the you are right, the vast gardens in the Imperial grounds does reflect affluence. The thing with castle grounds is that all over Japan they look pretty similar. The castles I visited in Kyoto had a similar entrances and moats to that you posted :)

[dangermousie]

Yeah, the castle we saw in Himeji and Kyoto were very similar.

These pics are making me want to go back :)
