While browsing through iPhoto, I just realized that I had not sorted, edited and uploaded my Tokyo photos! Life was happening then. This will be a series which I grouped together based on the basic themes that stuck me most while we were in Tokyo.
I call this series "Peace" since being in the many gardens of Tokyo offered just that --a respite from the high speed Tokyo pace. Photos from these series are from Shinjuku Gyo-en and Hama-Rikyu. Shinjuku Gyo-en was a sprawling garden which aside from its huge Japanese garden also featured French and English gardens plus the d*mn biggest chrystanthenums. Hama-Rikyu, though much smaller, did not disappoint either. Being along the river, it also known as the "beach garden" and was the jump off point for the Asakusa river cruise.
Aside from these, I also saw a lot of pocket gardens all over the city. Having all these greenery in a city is what makes it a world class metropolis and not just another urban jungle.

 | weye wrote on Mar 27, edited on Mar 27 kim and lai, you both should go to japan! it's really quite an experience :)
kim, i think you'll love akihabara --all those techie stuff and manga/anime! you might just faint from excitement... joke lang, cuz :)
lai, it's worth saving up for :) i'm hoping to go to kyoto, osaka and maybe tokyo again sometime :) but that'll most likely be years from now. then again i also plan to go to vietnam... priorities, priorities.
peej, we still are beautiful... just in a distressed sort of way. while i approve of "beautification"/cultural campaigns, a more immediate need (poverty) has to be addressed. sayang lang, cause we as a people have so much to give. i keep on wondering how things could've gotten so wrong, rotten and twisted :( |
 | love this! and the title is so me. haha :p |
 | Miriely ang nice nmn! I'm so envying you right now! I wanna visit Japan as well! But not till next next year kc I'm saving up for Thailand (hopefully)! Hehe... Love your pix!!!!! Very nice! =) |
| pam, it was really peaceful inside those gardens. such a big change after all the frenzy --esp sa subway. and i think they were helpful to the japanese kase you'd often find them there :)
michelle, thanks! i'm back to seriously thinking about buying a dslr... nanaman. haha! what nikon model do you own na nga? btw, japan was last year pa. got pretty busy lang kaya late post. vietnam na lang tayo! pero late this year or early next year pa ko pwede :) |
| Haha, bumili k n kc, you're too smart for a p&s! ;p Sna bumili ka when you were in Japan! Super mura dun! Up to half the price! I'm using a Nikon D40x... Pero sometimes, gusto ko ng Canon! Hehehe.... |

yup. i must admit we still have beauty. distressed and hazy...
we don't have to wonder. we know it's mismanagement, poor discipline, bad intentions and greed. |
