It's very convenient if you get off on the way to Shinjuku, or if you are going to Shinjuku, Takadanobaba, Ikebukuro, etc., but if you're going the other way (Shinagawa, Shinbashi, Tokyo, etc.), you have to go either under or over the tracks to get to the tracks going the other direction. - LHS
Unbelivable, you can film inside a shopping without getting arrested!!!! I was taking some pictures of walls and the ground of a shopping center for a school project, and after 5 min i had a security guy telling me that i had to leave the place and to delete the pictures. lucky for me i knew a couple that worked in a store in that shopping and they told the security that i was a good person and i was left alone. But still some of the staff in some shops were still looking at me
And that was in Portugal? It's getting more difficult to take pictures here too (it used to be really easy), but generally if you stay inconspicuous and don't go inside shops, it's okay. Once inside shops, they don't want you taking pictures though. I guess they're worried about rival retail spies? I'm surprised to hear how strict of a situation you describe though. - LHS
Yep. Aparently here in Portugal even if you take pictures of the floor or walls in a shopping they think you are trying to take some pictures for a robery or something. I think people are watching too many spy movies. I think in Japan you can film some people when you are walking, but here if someone catchs you filming them even if you're walkingy, they usualy make a scary face and say: What are you looking at? I wish people here were a bit more polite like the Japanse.
And i would love to visit Japan! Don't worry, if the people here see that you look like a tourist, there is no big problem. But if you're a local, now thats another story.
I remember seeing that huge painting in the 4 minute range and thinking 'wonder what the artist got paid for a painting that size?'. I enjoy these unedited videos. It makes me feel like I'm walking through Tokyo.
That's a good question! From looking at exhibits in Ginza art galleries, it looks like prices are all over. Some artists get paid a lot for things that are not so difficult to produce,; some get paid not enough for things that are very difficult to do, and some things are so obviously difficult and respected, that they easily command a high price. Paintings are all over the price scale, but in a public place... I don't know! - LHS
Pretty big place, and those are some pretty expensive looking botiques at the beggining.
That's pretty convenient when the mall you're in directly connects to a station.

I want to visit Portugal sometime. I wonder if it would be a little dangerous for me though, since I like taking pictures all the time! - LHS
