Uamou is a cute character with horns designed by Ayako Takagi, and he’s always with his friend Boo the ghost. Recently Ayako opened her own shop in Akihabra, under the train line in the 2k540 facility. I decided to go see for my self what the place looks like, and it awesome! Lots of different Uamou figures and there is also a Uamou caffee in the same space.
Please go check out Uamou website for lots of cool art and sweet vinyl toys.
I took this photo from the observatory floor in the Mori tower. I think it my best photo of Tokyo tower.
So obviously right now, all the big news are about the earthquake aftermath, the tsunami victims and the current state of the nuclear power plants. I wish I could give you more information, but I’m not a news reporter, and this is just a puny photoblog after all. But I didn’t want to stop posting until everything settle completely, since it might takes many weeks, even months. So I’m uploading this photo of a sunset over Tokyo, and tell you at the same time, that from my point of view everything is pretty much back to normal in the big city. We are very lucky that no serious damage occurred in the area, and life is almost back as it was for most of Tokyo residents. Of course I am hoping that the people in the affected area will have the chance to go back to their normal life as soon as possible, even though we all know this will be a hard and long challenge.
Theses are the photos I took right after the earthquake. There was no electricity in my area and no traffic light was working.

I went for the first time at the top of Mori tower this week-end. I don’t know why I waited so long to go there, it probably one of the most famous attraction that every tourist do in their first few days in Tokyo, but for me, it took me more than a year to go up there! I will have more photo coming up soon.
I don’t know why, I was feeling for some Wonda’s coffee this morning after taking the train.
I discover a really cool designer toys store in Yokohama called “Sup!” They mostly have a kidrobot stuff, but really, is that a bad thing ^_^ I brought back a Munny home with me, I’ll try to figure out something cool to do with it. Munny is the most popular kidrobot character, and the main concept is that they sell blank ones ( or white if you prefer ) and you are suppose to color it yourself and make it unique. If you google “munny” you should get a lots of exemples!
