You could tell people it's Daimajin on the rampage. I see there are big cleared out lots in Akihabara where big buildings are now complete

Start at an easy-to-recognise train station, and try to follow the train lines around to other places. If you are really hardcore, name the stations as you pass through, and don't use a subway map.

It's fixed now. But the other one, is it really the TIF? Cause when Robb sent me the links, he said he thought that the red roofed building was the Yurakucho Muji, and I thought it wasn't because I didn't notice the TIF nearby. If so, than it's cool that you can really spot that Muji store from way up. Here's the <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.676363,139.764054&spn=0.010943,0.015836&t=k&hl=en" rel="nofollow">link</a>.
