"Attractive" concrete Tokyo?
"Thriving, " 13th year of the Lost Decade Tokyo?
"Internationally competitive" over-priced Tokyo?

What Tokyo is that? I wanna go there.

hehe... well.. consider the fact i've grown up in houston suburbia, so i guess tokyo seems like a step in those directions.

and i find tokyo more attractive than most all american cities. it is kept way cleaner than them, isn't it? and it is also still quite an international city... i mean, tons of companies open up shop there before even a lot of american cities. but a lot of this probably has to do with its population size... which again is why i thought it was considered thriving

ore attractive than most all american cities. it is kept way cleaner than them, isn't it? )

Looking out my window...
It's a cold raining outside on endless horizon of concrete fractal on rusting "verandas" pitched with junk almost falling onto a limitless tangle wires and poles. On the pavement below the crow pick at trashbags in the green glow of rows of vending machines light without customers...

Tokyo? Think Blade Runner without the charm...

...storm is brewing. Deckard stands out-
side the entrance to an old hotel holding an umbrella,
as people scuttle into doorways to avoid the sudden
downpour.

A heavy metal maze of cubicles and perilous iron
balconies, peopled with rejects from the surface world.. Drop city is crowded,
cramped and darkly alive.

Looking out my window I see on this rainy winter night endless "verandas" tumbling in junk that is almost falling onto the endless concrete fractal of the city below. The cold rain falling on the crow picking at trashbags in the road. The trash is heaped in front of the greenish glow of rows of vending machines lit but without customers.
