Another rainy day in Tokyo…This tree is turning red.
Look at the weather today… I decided to skip the train ride and hop a cab. Look at this guy on the bike…dangerous…
My Taxi Japanese is excellent so this isn’t needed…
Train would have been the smarter choice this morning… This truck hit the truck behind us.
The truck behind us hit us…
We hit the car in front of us… and it hit the car in front of it….
We were fairly close to a police station so the police were quick to get on scene.
As were Tokyo’s Ambulances… I think this woman broke some ribs.
We started a pretty big log jam of cars behind us and more police cars showed up and direct traffic…
I was a little shaken up but felt OK so I headed on to work…but not before getting the information from my driver and the guy who started it all. Pop quiz: How many people does it take to direct traffic at this construction site?
Later in the day my neck and back started to get really sore so I decided to head to a local clinic to get myself checked out…
It turned out to be a rather stylish clinic…
このびょういんはかっこいいとおもいます。。。
A few X-rays and a CT Scan and I am cleared by the doctor with a few pain killers…
Shinjuku Love…
New touch screen vending machines…
The doctor insisted I stop off on the way home and pick up some cakes and eat them with Mayumi. To me this makes no sense but I didn’t want to argue…
Japanese Word of the Day: 自動車事故（じどうしゃじこ）jidoshajiko – conservation of electricity, brownout
I got in a car accident on the way to work this morning.
