What is you favorite sushi? I like the simple maguro (tuna) ones, but also the Kani Salada (カニサラダ = crab salad) ones; even if it is not really a sushi...

Last month, we received this letter from the government : they give 12000 yens to all the residents of Japan... Not sure about the efficiency of this move, but I take it!

With the good weather, many street performers around the station.

Always surprised by how these street groups play already like professional (even if I am not a fan of J-Pop).

For this bike shots I just used the automatic mode without flash.

Flash shots always look terrible (I mean using the default unit one).

My Fuji Feather fixed gear and wifeys bike together : "A" mode, trying not too move and waiting for a car coming in the back!
