Queuing for Things in Tokyo, Part 3
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 5 April 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.
It's not all about food; this one was taken in Shinjuku Park.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

An aspect of life in Japan that is hard to comprehend when you live in a vast, unterpopulated place like we do....

Are cameras cheap or is everyone just rich?

@Twelvebit: Not sure Twelvebit. But it seems normal here to see people of a certain age with this kind of equipment.

Maybe its a culture thing but I don't understand why everyone is queueing to take pictures from the same spot! I'm glad you took this shot =D)
