12 Jan 2010 morning, Tokyo, it is raining a little bit outside. So I'm going to take one of this transparent umbrella. They are very cheap in Japan.

Cute post office van like you normally see in a Japanese animation movie.

Better facilitated and better indicated than the 'Space needle' in Seattle. I thought Space Needle was the best.

A Japanese little girl was enjoying this and was actually crawling and laughing on top of this; A Japanese little boy was accidentally led by his father, after he was aware of that, he slapped his father in the butts, and run towards his mother.
And they are both braver than me. This is as close as I can get to this viewing down deck. There is a similar transparent deck in Auckland City Tower. It was smaller than this in size, so back then I can at least take a picture of me on the edge of that.... BTW, Auckland Tower is perhaps the most beautifully designed tower among the towers I've been to.

All the figure look a tiny percentage of Japanese, which is strange, but that's my impression. Which make the figures not very good if you ask me.
