	3.1 Why is this guy so wiped out? He works in ...
	3.2 ...this. Tokyo one of the biggest cities in the world.
	3.3 It is a daily challenge to travel, by train, by lift and walking.
	3.4 This is a megalopolis of 15-20 million people depending on how you measure it.You can just see the greenery!
	3.5 One more modern, metal and concrete skyscraper - how does it make you feel?
	3.6 Much of it is low and medium rise buildings
	3.7 Not a cm of space is wasted as it is so expensive
	3.8 You don't get the attraction of Tokyo. Well you might now. Lets start with the nightlife
	3.9 Eating out and drinking. Japanese life expectancy is one of the highest in the world - the low fat diet with fish and fresh vegetables is partly responsible.
	3.10 Hope you like fish! Delicious!
	3.11 Shopping modern
	3.12 Shopping local.
	3.13 A fish mad country
	3.14 A quick snack for the workers
	3.15 Now if you add work, a temple, then karaoke and sake, shopping, walking and you know why the guy was wiped out. Wouldn't you be!
	3.16 Just get the scale, count the storie and remember their are 50 that you can't see.
	3.17 Just occasionally there is a suburban paddy field to break up the concrete.
	3.18Thanks to Yasu and Fiona for  these photographs.
