A quick picture post to prove I'm still alive...

Went to a temple after waking up at like 4 am. Here are some pics I took, wish they could be in better resolution here, but hey...

Inside ceiling of the actual temple...

Like this woman, people would just stop for a brief second and pay their respects to statues of buddha or the doors of the temple themselves...

Tokyo is full fo little streets like this, just full of small shops and stuff, but some of these tiny alleyways have major attractions on them. This particualr street was decorated with the red posts due to the close location of the temple...

The other side of Japan: lots and lots of people and modernization. This is a view of the area outside Shibuya station, where the crossroads look something like the battle scenes from Braveheart. Keep in mind that this is after the main mass of folks crossed the street.

This, well, this is just kinda funny but really demonstrative of what I've seen of the big J-P so far:

You. littering. bastard.
