Yesterday afternoon, Robin and I came upon this small statue of Godzilla. He is standing quietly, unobtrusively in a square near Hibya Station (and of course, a Starbucks!). Noone was screaming or running in the streets. He was mostly ignored by all. I however, was delighted to see him.
The other picture is a great example of one of many, many misspelled English signs that are all around us. For example, when my cell phone is calling someone, the word "dialling" comes up on the screen. Today on the train Robin pointed out a sign that had "31 th" printed on it. On and on it goes. Very entertaining.

Yeah for you and putting the blog together!!
Our son, Jon has been looking at those signs you are talking about in the time he has been in Tokyo these past three years. We even notice the wording in brochures, etc. that is "different"
It will be fun to sign in and read your adventures - especially since we have had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with you in Yoyogi Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
