Picture: Humor: Awry Menu Translation

I noticed this menu at a cafe in Shinjuku, Tokyo in May 2008:

Item 1: English- 'New York style caesar salad' Japanese- 'Draft beer'
Item 2: English- 'homemade soup' Japanese- 'glass of wine (red/white)'

This can be nothing if not deliberate.

Graffiti: Tokyo

This tag adorned a wall near Hachiyamacho in west Tokyo. This picture was taken in May of 2007, but it may no longer be there. The name of the artist eludes me at this moment in time. 　　　

Picture: Phone: Sun Through Tree

This picture was taken in a park near Daikanyama in Tokyo on a sunny day in 2007 when I had nothing better to do. The clouds were quite beautiful that day, and even though this was taken using a phone camera, I like the effect of the sun through the tree leaves. The park was a favorite place of mine in that section of the city, and I often went there to read or rest if I had been walking for a long time. There was an upper and lower park as well- the upper park was dingier but quieter, shady, with old people walking around, old benches, and some bum houses hidden in the back. The lower park had more of a family-friendly atmosphere, with a playground, swingset, and a lot of open sunny space.
