Sleeping in Tokyo

Zen on the move.

These are pictures taken by my intrepid husband on Tokyo's subway! Wont be too long before one of these weary passengers wakes up to accost him! Till then....

Cars and dogs

In Tokyo, cars and dogs are more than just transport and pets. Fashion accessories? The range is exotic and simply mindboggling . In the birthplace of Honda and Toyota -it is the Lamborghinis,Aston Martins and Porsches that are hot.Ironical. Convertibles that look like space shuttles or cars that dont look like cars at all. For that matter dogs that dont like dogs...giant poodles, skinny whippets, tiny poodles,Alaskan huskies,mammoth Great Danes...this is the Road Show for dog lovers (like me)!

My son and I never fail to peer into the dog saloon near our supermarket. While we move on with our daily load of bread and milk, the lucky pooches are getting a manicure here and a massage there.After which they will, no doubt, slip into designer wear(no exaggeration) and walk their well heeled paws on the cobbled sidewalks while their blow dried hair waves in the wind.Lucky dogs.

The car and dog fest is never ending. Its like walking through make believe world. Where dogs have hair dos and cars no roof. Excuse me, while I gape.
