Some pictures from Okinawa:
Jan Visits Okinawa - Naha & The Main Island
This weekend we went to the IKEA store nearby Yokohama, and it was crowded like no tomorrow. IKEA is lucky not to have a problem attracting customers, the problem is rather that they are attracting too many. With thousands of adults and children storming around the store like it was Disneyland, it is almost impossible to find anything to buy. The again, with only two stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area, there is a lot of demand to satisfy.
On a related note, this evening I tried going to my local gym. It was so crowded, I decided to go running outside instead. The only problem running outside is the number of homeless people sleeping in the streets, not to mention that it is cold. I usually run next to the Tamagawa river, and that is where the homeless people hang out. This evening, I virtually had to jump over someone's bed today as I was running. Tokyo certainly is a crowded place.
