Day 358, 24 Dec 2017: A Christmas Eve...

Day 358: ...of sorts

Sunday, and, for all intents and purposes, Sunday this term is my day for preparing Monday morning's class. But wait, you say, Christmas Eve? Christmas Day? Classes? Work? Yes, to all of the above. While Japan takes on all the excess of commercial Christmas, it's not a public holiday. So prep day it is. 

That didn't stop the passing traffic looking all festive as I sat ten floors up working away...

Lights, camera...

...action

Colourful

These boots...

Last minute deliveries

Red boots

Crossing

The promenade below is a popular spot for photographers, amateur and professional alike. And with a big anime/manga convention coming up over the new year period, it looked like people were getting their costumes out for a test run. 

Santa's helpers were out a little early.
