Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. We were quite tired early in the evening and I didn’t find the energy to write anything or even post any photos. I’ll get caught up soon; in the mean time here’s a photo from yesterday:
That’s Noppon, one of the two mascots for the Tokyo Tower. The other one is his brother, whose name is also Noppon. You can tell them apart because Noppon wears blue overalls, and Noppon wears red overalls. They’re quite popular with the locals:
There are no words…
He has a bandaid on his head!
I noticed that. I imagine it’s easy to hit your head on things when your head is that tall and pointy.
Dan: you asked what we do in Tokyo. Well, now you know.
In all seriousness, if you’re doing the tourist bit in Tokyo, Tokyo Tower should go on your list of things to see. The view is spectacular and the elevators have these groovy already-dated-looking LED things in the ceiling. Noppon and Noppon only make personal appearances on weekends, though.
