Holiday Photo Diary: Tokyo 2014 (week 1)

 Since I had to get a lot of stuff done for my thesis, my sight-seeing was smooshed into any available gap I could find. And I actually managed to see a fair amount, stopping into see Tokyo sights on the way to and from meetings and making the most of free evenings. My trip was roughly split into three sections, a first week in Tokyo, a second week up in Hokkaido for the Yubari Fantastic Film Festival, and then a final week back in Tokyo. This seemed like a pretty logical way to split up my photos, so what you'll be seeing today is my first hectic 6 days in the awesome city of Tokyo.
