Another bright spot on my recent Tokyo trip - getting out of Tokyo and checking out Yokohama Chinatown for the first time. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Tokyo (I am not a hater...). But it is not one of my favorite cities. There's a lot of interesting and good places to go to in Tokyo. But I have always needed such a goal. Wandering around Tokyo has never really worked for me (as it has in other big cities). And I don't know how to explain it, but there was a sense of relief as my train left Tokyo and entered Yokohama...

And then my camera broke again... (The lens doesn't seem to want to connect to the camera body when it gets too hot - and Yokohama was hot!) Anyway, I only had a short time in Yokohama. I look forward to going there again.
Did you get a chance to catch a Baystars home game?
