Really enjoying these long videos! They really bring me back to when I was there. :) Thanks for posting!

@StarDr0ps Thanks for the feedback! I'm thinking that - since Tokyo changes to quickly - it's good to record things. For example, apparently they'll be phasing out the six-door (per side) train cars due to the platform doors they've begun installing on the Yamanote Line (so all the train cars have the same number of doors that match up with the platform doors). - LHS

@lylehsaxon: Always a good thing to record something you want to remember! Yeah I've heard things in Tokyo change really quickly. Going off topic, I've been meaning to ask you, how the grocery stores in Tokyo are doing these day? Are the shelves still empty in some places?

@StarDr0ps Now we're past the initial panic, shopping seems fairly normal now. What scares me is that the Fukushima nuclear reactors are still broken and still emitting toxic radiation into the air, sea, and land - and they say the very soonest they can stop it is in *six months*, more likely a *year*. Sooner or later, that's going to get into the food supply. I'm beginning to think I'm not going to have a long life. Hopefully I'm worrying too much, but it's not a good situation. - LHS

@lylehsaxon: Least most of the panic is over. Yeah I hear the radiation there is still really bad. Let's hope they can stop it before it majorly effects anything!
