Afternoon Run Through the Crowds

I've thrown a lot of words at you all, so now for some easily digestible pictures!
From my run this afternoon. Beautiful day for it:

From a raised walkway near Shinjuku Station. The world's busiest transit hub, conveniently located 1.4 miles from my apartment.

This sort of covered escalator totally reminds me of all futuristic computer games I've played (The Longest Journey. Favorite game everrrr).

Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, near Shinjuku Station

Inside Shinjuku Station

Porcelain doll 1 and 2 out for a day of shopping with little kid friend.
Yes, I am an obnoxious American who surreptiously takes pictures of bizarre Tokyo fashion. 

For my biking friends: Tons of bikes around the city, and only about half of them seem to be locked, and those are only locked to themselves, rarely to anything grounded. Goes to show how safe Tokyo is.
