Japan in colour

As promised here are a few shots of Japan. I took some of them today on the way to work. Basically this is what my neighbourhood looks like. These pictures were taken fairly close to the train station so it's fairly busy. I live about 10 minutes away from here and it's all residential area so the streets aren't nearly so busy.
Hopefully in the next couple days I'll get some more of me and the apartment and the built up area around my home train station.

The first few pics are of the busier part of my area. It really is a perfect storm of cars, bikes and pedestrians. I'm surprised I haven't seen an accident yet.

This next picture is of the Shinjuku subway station. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's the busiest subway station in the world as it processes 3 million people a day. I think the entire Toronto subway system only processes 1 million people a day-and this single station does 3 million! It was actually quite amazing to see. I'm not sure if this picture quite captures it but when you look down this long corridor you can see nothing but peoples' heads all the way off to the horizon.
