Culture and sports

What are you doing in a foreign town, when it is raining? You visit a museum! So, I also went to the probably biggest museum of Tokyo, the Tokyo National Museum. Innumerable works of art are shown in different buildings. Finally, it is a museum like every other, because your feet are aching and your ability of being receptive for new works declines. Nevertheless, there are many interesting asian works of art.

News from sports: While Japanese people are crazy for baseball and soccer, I only looked at the former olympic village, with is a youth hotel right now, and the Yoyogi National Stadium. Both have a impressive architecture.
