TOKYO

 

- from plane to bus  -                      to bicycle with Patrick H McNally

through downtown Tokyo - past friendly parking officers directing traffic

 

- past a vegetable field in the middle of town - into the Showa Park - not Shoah!

- families having fun - and girls singing and swinging

- eating-

 

- then reflecting - and watching TV on this day -

- no comment -

 

ready for sleeping - preparing for travel

  

pizza, yes                      smoke, no - Hope, Parliament, and the usual brands...

 

- time to go home - on time in clean comfort

- more travel, mistake! - don't get on a peak-hour train that's reserved for women only -

- recovery from shock - cafe for smokers-nonsmokers divided by an invisible wall - choke, choke...

- let's seek out Tokyo's only mosque, funded by Turkish government, completed in 2000 -

- those in the know know what this means...                                             ...time to move on ....

- final supper  - final destination before take-off

- a long journey because the US still controls Japan's air space - get the message?
