Tokyo, Japan 2006

Day 1 ..continued.  As we drove by the National Diet Building (the Japanese House of Parliament), Mr. Sato noted that there was very little crime in Japan and the policemen don’t wear guns; however, the riot police are always on duty which made me wonder.

Tokyo started as a fortress on the water for the Edo dynasty and has grown to be the largest city in the world with 12 million people.  The Tokyo Tower is a prominent landmark and is 12 meters taller than its Eiffel Tower counterpart in Paris.
