明けましておめでとうございます！Happy New Year!

Amidst a few fervid weeks of studying for the JLPT N1, job hunting, and a trip to Vietnam, the to-do list for my neglected picture blog has grown quite long. While I set to work, I thought I’d make a quick post of some pictures I took today, just as the year was turning.

At around 11:30PM, I took my camera to capture the sea of humanity that poured into the scramble crossing at the heart of Shibuya. The New Year is more of a quiet, family holiday in Japan, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from this scene. If my blog so far is any proof, I love taking pictures of crowds, and Tokyo, as surprisingly peaceful a city as it is most days, can really, really deliver on crowds.
