Look at this telephone that is in the Annex of the Temple.
These are the women who were at Institute today. Some come on the train for an hour and a half! This was the last meeting of the season and we had a nice lunch afterwards. There are women of all nationalities. The teacher today was French .
The Swiss Embassy is very near the temple. There are so many embassies around - I looked in our atlas and it lists over 150.
This is the Norwegian Embassy.
How would you like to have to use this fire escape?
Here is the Lamborghini showroom that is near our apartment. You see so many beautiful cars here - expensive ones.
And tons of motorcycles.
This is a city of skyscrapers. Makes Chicago look small and Salt Lake dinky!
This is a parking meter box - I guess you put the money in here somewhere.
All the school kids wear uniforms and look so smart. These girls were coming out of school about 6 o'clock and headed for the subway. Must be long days for them.
There are bikes everywhere. Some are locked and some aren't.
This is a view of the Church Office Building (called the Presiding Bishop's Office or PBO). The whole building is owned by the Church.
More school kids after a long day.
The old and the modern co-exist everywhere here. This old shrine is in the midst of huge buildings.
And we are home from our walk!
Tomorrow is a mission presidents' conference of all the missions in the North Asia Area and Dad will be introducing himself. Then we will go to the temple with them. And then to dinner!

How come your mail box says "U.S. Mail?" Shouldn't it say "Japan Mail" or something like that? (I realize this is probably a dumb question but it left me wondering). :)
Love all the cultural differences! So fun!
Very fun!!
I think I only want one souvenir from Japan. Could you bring me home one of those Lamborghinis?
Those little school kids are so cute! What fun pictures! They look like such sweet people. I would also like a Lamborghini like Mark, if there is extra room in your suitcase! :)
