Yesterday was Greenery Day but spend most of it walking around concrete jungle of Tokyo. I stopped by my favorite shop Gooz in the morning for a cup of coffee. I love the American Gas Station pour it yourself coffee. Its a nice mix of my old and new home... きのうはみどりの日です。東京をさんぽしました。中目黒のグーズでコーヒーをかいました。アメリカのガソリンスタンドのコーヒーやさんみたいです。おもしろいです。懐かしい（なつかしい）です。

Japanese Word of the Day: 双子（ふたご）futago - twins, a twin. for example: Papa those dogs wearing sunglasses look like twins! パパ、この犬サングラスかけてる。ふたごみたい。

Today’s configuration: Today I shot my Leica M9 and I shot all of my lens: Summilux 21mm f/1.4, Summilux 35mm f/1.4, Noctilux 50mm f/0.95.

Stopped off at Gooz in Nakameguro for some American Gas Station style coffee.

Sweet Home Nakameguro...I'm coming home to you!

They also have a great bakery. I highly recommend their Hamburger... yummy.　　グーズにおいしいハンバーガーがあります。おいしかったです。

日本はかえません！

I love all of the cool cars I find in Tokyo. This is a London Taxi!　　東京にたくさんかっこいい車があります。

Mayumi and I had time for a nice date in Nakameguro. We went to Bonnie Butterfly. We had the most delicious pizza and probably the most unhealthy; lots of cheese, sausage, mayonnaise and french fries. God it was good. I have been in the evening as well and this place is great. Good crowd but not too noisy.

私は真由美と中目黒でデートしました。　すごいピザたべました。チーズとマヨネーズとソーセージとフライドポテトがのっていました。すごいおいしかったです。私はマヨラーです。。。でもヘルシーじゃないですね。

I am going to miss Nakameguro when we move. We are going to finalize our contract tomorrow. We are heading to the new place tomorrow to do some measuring.

Tokyo Mid Town. A massive structure.　東京ミッドタウン。　大きいですね。

The National Art Center in Roppongi. This building is so cool. I need to come back on a nice blue sky day and reshoot this.

I love this chicken...　　このとりおもしろいです。

This is cool. You never see brick buildings in Tokyo.

Sanno Hospital...this is where Kai was born.

Now this is how to treat a 'homeless' cat...　　このねこのうちおもしろいです。

I found this great little old general's house and small temple on the way back to Roppongi. I couldn't decide which photo I liked better so you get both today.

Wooden prayer boards hold the wishes of visitors.

A real general's real sword... cool!

The one thing I love about Japan is everything has a cute little character or macot...This is the Tokyo Police's Pipo-kun. Pipo-kun even has his own theme song. You can hear it HERE.　　ピポくんです。東京警察のマスコットです。ピポくんのうたはここです。

This dog was playing soccer!　　この犬はサッカーをあそんでいました。

Day 4 with my blogging in Japanese. What does everyone think so far? I am really glad I started doing this. It takes about an extra 30 or 45 minutes but it is really making me much more confident in my Japanese. Each day it gets a little faster. Is anyone following along or studying their Japanese with it? Are any Japanese people following along in Japanese now? Please leave a comment as I would love to know what people think.

日本語をかくのはたいへんです。　３０分から４０分ぐらいかかります。　だんだんなれてきました。どうおもいますか？　日本人は日本語だけよみますか？　コメントをしてください。かんたんな日本語でよろしくおねがいします。

真由美ちゃんーいつもチェックサンキュベリマッチです。。。
