Once in love with Tokyo, always in love with Tokyo -

[kyburg]

From my hotel window, I watched the comings and goings of trains day and night on a seven-track railway. Then there's the extensive and efficient subway system, which of course makes L.A.'s look like it was designed for a city the size of Bakersfield. As for auto traffic, it can be miserable, but commuters have alternatives. And I didn't see a single Hummer, the car of choice for Jaime de la Vega, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's deputy mayor of transportation. I'm willing to take up a collection and have both of them sent to Tokyo to take notes.

You don't have to love anime to find Tokyo amazing. Of course, I don't think he knows the why behind so much of the WIN he's finding...like the fact they don't have Hummers because you can't have them, for example...but it's amusing, nonetheless.
