Leigh D Xtreme Curves

[Japan 2007] 20/09 - 24/09 Shiba Park Hotel Tokyo. Part 4. A Shinjuku.

The day was sultry, the heat almost unbearable.
In Shinjuku, there are works in progress, exit the subway and then does not allow us to enjoy the view. In the distance we see the first skyscrapers we have discussed and wanted to see in Italy. In front of the station, a band made up of boys are playing nice music, we pause a moment to listen, then run to the discovery of one of the most charming districts of Tokyo.
We see a large group of well dressed people with a stick in his hand a bit, intent to travel to coordinate some sections of the street "grid." The goal? Collect any garbage from the street.
not I understand why these people were dressed in suits and suit to collect the garbage (and I will not even launch into easy assumptions), the fact is that this is yet another demonstration of the Japanese cleaning.
The problem of cigarette butts is also negligible: most of the Japanese smokes on the premises and the stretches of road marked, throwing everything in the proper ashtray. Smoking on the street is not allowed except in these places (among other numerous enough) but I've more than once to see Japanese smoke almost in secret (with the butt facing the palm of the hand) walking down the street, however I have never seen anyone get fined for this, although there are small police stations every few blocks (so-called Police Boxes).

The trash bins and have to put it is almost non-existent. As
missing the garbage on the sidewalks, parked cars is also missing. In Japan the drivers (those few who do not travel by public transport) take their cars in special (many) car parks.
of double or triple line there is no Italian track. To fully describe
Shinjuku shopping and its substantial music there is nothing more appropriate than a photo gallery (in the next post).
