Tokyo Crowds

After the exhaustion of a week at LCA in Hobart, and a few days at home in Sydney, I'm now in the office Tokyo.

When I mention Tokyo a common response is "isn't that a really crowded place?". Especially from Japanese people that I have met, though their version is usually a statement rather than a question.

This morning I caught the subway from Ginza-Ichome Station at about 9:30am. There was one other person on the entire platform, form the time I arrived until I got on the train, about 2 minutes later. I wish I had my camera, but you'll just have to try and imagine an empty Tokyo subway station on an otherwise busy morning.
