Views from the Car

Today we went across town (Tokyo, that is) to a doctor's appointment. Here, people would say "we went to the hospital". I remember that used to sound shocking and serious, but it only means "we went to the doctor". Doctors treat their patients at hopsitals or small clinics here. So when you "go to the doctor" you go to a hospital or small clinic.

Here are some scenes from the car on the way home. By the way, it's not so easy taking pictures from the car! It requires keeping the window down and that's not so comfortable in a big, dirty city. It was fun, though.



Waiting in traffic.



The NTT (Nippon Telephone & Telegraph) building in Shinjuku is off in the distance. Nippon means Japan.



We were parked at a traffic light under the highway. Notice the cars parked along the side! There's a familiar sign in the background. You can barely see it. It's Shell Oil.



Another pizza delivery motorcycle. Notice Domino's motorcycles have a rain shield/roof.
