Nagoya: city on the go!







More pictures of Nagoya around the hotel: these first two are from my window on the 8th floor.







here we see a tree growing in a stairwell.







signs to keep you on the correct (left) side of the street











our morning breakfast of comfort food from home has different offerings for eats, but the decor is nothing new to seattlites (or anyone else in the world, evidently).

this particular one has sliding doors with touch panels so that people walking past don't trigger the door to open.





and last is a view from the towers at Nagoya Station of the roundabout in the roadway. and you thought the roundabouts in seattle were annoying . . .

Oh sweetie, the Starbucks is OBVIOUSLY different from the ones here. First of all, the ceiling is white, instead of dark brown or black. Also, there are more straight edges on the cabinetry/ceiling panels. No curves in the architecture. And the lighting is significantly brighter. Also, the color palette is a lot cooler.

I could go on, but I'm only 1/2 joking. ;) (yeah, not much difference, but enough for a discerning eye to tell).

:p
