I went to Bagel Standard to pick up some bagels this morning but they open at 11am.  I need to speak to them about 'bagel hours' as this is a breakfast food...

I have past this construction site a few times now....this is by far the cleanest construction site I have ever seen.    It is so orderly on all sides.  I might need to get my 21mm and go back.

This makes me laugh every time I see it.   I am sure others find the irony in a no smoking Jazz Room called 'Mary Jane'...

While I am starting to like Dark Tokyo overall I am finding Dark Shibuya a little creepy.  It's hard to tell in this picture (as it is too dark) but there are probably 3,000 people between me and Starbucks.
