"Just Another Evening in Shinjuku"

For one reason or another... and another... and another, I've spent time in Shinjuku on and off ever since 1984, soon after I stepped off of that 747.  And still it continues.  Here are a few video clips from February 23rd, 2010.

"Shinjuku Rush-Hour South Exit Ticket Gate Area" (100223-1850)

Walking through the crowded (6:50 p.m.) area near the south exit/entrance ticket gates.

"Food Stall, etc., in Front of West Side of Shinjuku Station" (100223-2137)

There seemed to be a lot of students with travel bags heading to the station.  They may have just finished classes and are headed out somewhere for spring break?

"Omoide Yokocho - February 23rd, 2010" (100223-2139)

Another walk through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho - a time slip area that is increasingly becoming a tourist destination.

"Crosswalk & Background Trains" (100223-2140)

As people hurry across a large pedestrian crossing, a couple of trains rumble by - providing a backdrop of sight and sound....
