The new camera is great fun.
For one thing, it can take night shots.
Last Friday, I took it to my old friend Kabukicho for some practice. It was mainly an exercise in learning about things like shutter speed and aperture. Here's one of the results.
Dedicated to Paddy Mac. If you look in the background Paddy, you can see that Tonkatsu place we used to visit. In my book, the best Tonkatsu place in Tokyo, although I've yet to try the famous one in Meguro.

Suggestion for your blog - people's favourtie parts of Tokyo - restaurants, clubs, bars, museums etc. Bit cheesy I know but I would be interested reading other people's experiences.
Moving ahead for the world club in December. Looking for flights etc and will keep you posted.
Tonki in Meguro is very good, but a little untraditional- you have to go to see what I mean.
There's a place where everyone is lining up these days 5 minutes of of the Higashi-guchi of JR Ebisu-eki. If you go past the Kinkos, but before Zest, on the opposite side of the street from Zest, you won't miss the lines.
I haven't tried it yet but there is ALWAYS a long line there...

Good idea.
Tonki, that's the one. Must make it over there some day. Cheers for the other recommendation too, Gen. While we're at it, there's one in Baba that's worth mentioning. It's in the basement of the bookshop building opposite the station on the Big Box side. Never crowded. Great tonjiru and miso soup, and they are also a bit untraditional.
