But I'm finally home from the Far East!!!
Despite missing Halloween, my husband's birthday, Bailey's birthday, and Thanksgiving, I finally made it home two weeks before Christmas. Hurray!

In Tokyo, Christmas Decorations were on display almost everywhere by the first of November. That surprised me. This scene is an underground passageway in Shinjuku Station. Shinjuku Station is the world's busiest transport hub (registered as such with Guinness World Records). The station itself has 36 platforms, including an underground arcade, above ground arcade and numerous hallways. There are well over 200 exits. Another 17 platforms (51 total) can be accessed through hallways to 5 directly connected stations without surfacing outside. At street level, it also the hub of several bus lines.
