What a contrast between those two unusual buildings and the more traditional ones..... all in the same area.
I've noticed that many of the streets and alleys you picture are for walking traffic, not vehicles. In our area, there are very few places that you would find anything similar at all.
And I chuckled when I saw Godzilla. Reminds me of some of the tourist type areas of Knoxville, Tennessee and Branson, Missouri. I noticed the IMAX theater. Have you ever seen a movie in one of them?
Joe and I were in Branson, Missouri a few years ago, and we asked about the one there. One of the ticket ladies took us inside of it while a movie was being shown and I was astonished. It almost made me dizzy it was so big. She had us sit down at a table and chairs and look around. We always said we would go see a movie in one of them, but we don't have one in our immediate area and we have not made the effort to go see one when we traveled.

I HAVE NEVER REALLY LIKED VERY TALL BUILDINGS BUT SUPPOSE THEY DO SAVE GROUND SPACE. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SUNDAY PHOTOS.

I like the atmosphere of the traditional shopping alley. The modern office buildings look all the same around the world and lack the feeling of warmth and security.

This kind of small shops in alleys are not common and can only be found in the big cities like Tokyo and Taipei.. I think it is because of the high rental. I like to browse these streets too. No, I have not been inside an IMAX theatre. In fact, I don't even know that it is a theatre.
