These are some of the first photos that I have taken with my new camera, a Nikon D800. Being my first full frame camera I am quite overwhelmed by all the new features.
Most photos were taken in Naka Meguro, one of the best places in Tokyo to take sakura photos.
There’s a promotion by Burger King Japan that gives customers the option to add 15 pieces of bacon to their Whopper for an extra 100 yen (around 1 euro / 1,25 dollars). The promotion “has become viral” and yesterday it was the main topic of conversation among my coworkers. Of course somebody had to test the limits of the promotion and ordered 1050 extra pieces of bacon. The amazing thing is that the bacon tower didn’t crumble down… Check out the video below! Quite disgusting! 😉

Koganei park, north from Musashi-Koganei station in Tokyo, is located near the workplace of Studio Ghibli artists. Part of the park is occupied by the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum (江戸東京たてもの園) where there are several streets with reconstructions of houses of the Edo era. Not only the outer part of the houses is faithful to the Edo era architecture, but also the inner part of the houses carefully represents the houses of the time.
During the production of the movie Spirited Away, master Hayao Miyazaki visited several times the museum taking notes and drawing sketches.
This is one of the houses that Hayao Miyazaki likes the most when he visits the museum.
Does this train sound familiar? It is located at the entrance of the museum.
What I like the most about this museum is that, apart from Edo era buildings, there is a commercial street with shops from the Edo era. For example, you can see how a pharmacy or the public baths were 150 years ago in Tokyo.
