Those pics don't look all that different from any other big city pics.... lol

Why are your street lights greenish in tint? Mercury vapor lamps or something?

We use primarily High Pressure Sodium lamps in our street lights in the States, so they have a decidedly orange hue.

How's the air quality there?

I have a view of the palm trees in my backyard. I prefer nature to cityscapes personally. Plus, it's nice and quiet here at night. I really prefer the peace and quiet.

Nice pics, but I wouldn't say it's absolutely beautiful.

while the view may be similar, the amount of people live with a view like this are extremely few and far between.

This condo is over $2,000 a month (1 bedroom)


I am very forunate to have such a view without other towering buildings obscuring my view (which will change in about 2 years)

the day doesn`t mean anything other than a tradition. Ever summer there are about 10 firework shows in Tokyo. This was the largest of them all. Last year I saw the second largest which had less but more unique fireworks
