Take a Stroll Around Tokyo....

Google is a juggernaut, no doubt about it. Google maps is awesome and scary at the same time. But mostly awesome. GOOGLE MAPS has begun the three dimensional mapping of our world. Naturally, Tokyo was one of the first cities fully mapped. Click on that link and type in Tokyo. You will see a small yellow person icon on top of the zoom bar. Drag that icon onto any section of Tokyo that suits your fancy. Voila! Three dimensional walk-about in Tokyo. It is really awesome.

Below is a shot from near the Ginza. Once you are on the page there are arrows that allow you to move virtually down the street in any direction you want. You can go into the smallest streets and see restaurants, etc. Also, you might wanna see if your hometown has been mapped. Many American cities have been blanketed. It can be fun but sometimes painfully nostalgic looking at places we've lived.....
