Where to begin with Tokyo? A sprawling, seemingly chaotic yet highly organised, synchronised and user-optimised mega-metropolis. (And the people are just so incredibly polite). Shots here include:
+ Kisho Kurokawa's modernist wonder, the Nakajin Capsule Tower built in 1971
+ The extraordinarily huge Tokyo International Forum building (ever been inside a whale?)
+ Views of Tokyo from Roppongi Hills' Tokyo City View observation deck at Mori Tower
+ The idiosyncratic roof lights of Tokyo taxis
+ Dentsu is the fourth largest advertising agency in the world. Their headquarters in Tokyo is a particularly svelte building (that looks larger than the headquarters of the UN in New York!)
