It's rubbish day in Tokyo today. It's possible that I'm going Tokyo mad but I quite like seeing the colourful stacks of gomi on my morning walk! All those little boxes tied neatly together. All those beer cans neatly separated.
I'm mad aren't I?
'Hi I'm Hello Sandwich and I take pictures of rubbish. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!'.
Don't worry, I took some other pics today too!
So now it's 'Hi, I'm Hello Sandwich and I take pictures of rubbish and potted gardens. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!' Now that sounds heaps better!

P.S. I can't wait till I get a fancy camera so I can take nice pictures like this.

ReplyDeleteAll the potted plants remind me of my London garden, a jungle of colours in pots everywhere, covering every inch of space available.
