    Your photos are amazing however the vending machine holds a special place in my heart. The vending machines in Japan was one of my favorite things about my short period of time I spent there.

    Hello Underwerket, Thank you for your comment and your nice words about my instagram photographs.

    Hello Kaisu, I am sure the photos you take are nicest for your tumblr! :) Thanks for your kind words :)

    Hello Samantha, Vending machines are so convenient aren't they! At the moment I am obsessed with the Mandarin flavour water from Ilohas :)

    Hello Anna bo, nawww it's such a Japanese neat thing isn't it. Sometimes it's in a little pile outside my door but for some reason it always looks so neat. With the recycling for my apartment and ward you have to wash empty plastic containers (like a bento box for instance) I mean what other country makes you wash your own rubbish! I'm used to it now though. We also have to tie all of our paper recycling - magazines, boxs and books only into a little neat stack with string. It's a full time job. :)

    Hello Amelie, Thanks so much! I am so happy you could enjoy them!

    Hello Tana, Thanks for your kind words about the photographs. Shimokitazawa is a lovely place. I hope you have the chance to visit one day :)

    Love Love

    I love instagram too. The 'early bird' filter is my favourite, I'm obsessed! These are such great photos, my favourites are the neatly lined up rubbish bags!

    I like the crossing photo, it really reminds me of Japan and my grandmothers neighbourhood. We don't have those in Sydney.

    Haha love the rubbish! ...and I was always so taken with that little blue door and mint window frame on T Bar... but it never looked open? I always wanted to sneak a peak inside... Perhaps I always passed by it at the wrong time! Love these pics サンドちゃん makes me still feel totally in the 下北沢 loop! x

    I'm amazed by the neat placement of the trash bags on trash day... where I live in NY state (Long Island) the garbage men would never take the time to pick up a line of bags; it's hard enough to get them to empty one or two garbage cans placed in front of your house! One of the wonderful differences about the Japanese culture, and one that I wish we had here.

    Hello Banana meet-cute, Thanks for your comment! Oh I love earlybird and I also love Nashville! Wish it had a white frame though - the black is too heavy I find. But I'm not complaining! I love instagram!

    Hello Thelittlesketchbook, Thanks for your comment! No you are right, none of those in Sydney. I am from Sydney ;)

    Hello Tiffany, I wish you would come back. Then you could really be in the 'Shimokitazawa loop' - though today is raining - not so much fun!

    Hello Yoli, nawww thank you!

    Hello Jennifer! Oh yeah it must be so hard for the rubbish collectors! Poor things. But I guess Toyko is so jam packed there isn't much room for leaving giant rubbish bins out on the street.

    Hello Make It Easy, Yes you should visit Japan soon :)

    Love Love
