So I’m spending some time traveling, working a couple weeks in Shanghai, and hitting Tokyo on the way and Cairo, London, Quito, and Phoenix (for my cousin’s wedding) on the way back. Normally I’d post some pics to Facebook and Twitter, but you can’t get to that here in China…
So here are a few pics from Tokyo. My best shots I took in RAW format which my work laptop can’t decode, but there are a couple of just-bumming-around-town pics that I have in JPG format and am able to share now.
Sitting at internet kiosk in Tokyo airport trying to find a place for the night.
Visited the National Garden in the early morning
Went down to the fish market and had nigiri / tea / miso soup at tiny restaurant
Tried a few varieties of the yogurts and drinks with fat straws and stuff at the bottom
Snack at starbucks in the Ginza shopping district
There are a lot of nice stores in Ginza. I visited Apple, Coco Chanel, and others.
Crowd walking along Ginza. Love the sun umbrellas!
Coco Chanel had a wonderful photography exhibit honoring women
Self portrait in the Coco Chanel elevator. 
Stopped again for some great sushi and nigiri at Tokyo airport
I have yet to take any significant pics in Shanghai as I’ve been too focused on work. But hopefully I’ll get some pics soon and will get to upload them as well.
