Tokyo signs point to World Wide Love!
The texture of a backstreet in Shibuya ward of Tokyo. The signs on the street lead me eye to the left. I love walking through the nooks and crannies of Shibuya.

すごい！鉄道模型めっちゃ好き！Ms. レイノルズ introduces Christmas train at Hilton
A lot of work to put this train display together in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel in Osaka. They have been working on it since October. The hotel raises money from sponsors (they get their names as billboards or store sings inside the model railroad town). The money raised goes to a local orphanage (that's the best translation I have, though it is a bit different than an orphanage). I love this train display. Notice the detail -- like how the shinkansen goes faster than all the other trains :-) The trains also have advertising from the sponsors. It's all for charity. The kids love it -- you should see their faces.
Hats off to P-CUBE and Ikeda-san for putting this TV piece together.

With clutter ubiquitous, emptiness gets attention. (Talk about white space!) Japanese poster.
"Emptiness is the foundation of infinite possibilities." - Daisetz T. Suzuk
To my left, Docomo goes minimalist to get your attention (there used to be a giant photo of a model's head there).
To my right, this large movie poster demands attention and has loads of graphical detail to bring you in.

Ricky Gervais + Elmo interview: The Sesame Street outtakes.
I just can't watch Ricky Gervais do anything without laughing hysterically myself. Got all his audiobooks/podcasts on iTunes. His laugh is infectious.

Reminder: You need time off the grid. Take care of yourself. (slide)
Nothing beats a soak in a Japanese onsen. Here a couple of Japanese macaques (Snow Monkeys) remind us humans what we need to do more: relax. Photo from iStockphoto File #: 9524168.
