Shinjuku at night with illuminations, by Yuki. When I tell people that it’s really cold here during the winter, they always comment that it can’t be that bad since I’m Canadian. Well, to quote Yuki, “Tokyo winter is colder than London, because my room lacks good heating.” Despite the -20 to -30 we might have gotten back home (with the windchill factor), central heating in homes at least makes sure that once you get inside you’re nice and warm.
