I have done a couple of posts on Odaiba now, and I can now see the different aspects of the area. Most tourists would see Odaiba as a place to check out when visiting, I have seen another side of Odaiba.<br />The kids English lesson that I teach each week at Odaiba, the kids are all from the same Apartment block, and I feel the sense of community of the people that live at Odaiba feel. I think this will be something quite valuable for the Olympics in 2020. People at Odaiba are going to be proud to present their neighbourhood to the rest of the world. In fact I teach some English to some people (who are based in Odaiba) who want to study English to be able to prepare for the Olympics.<br />I have actually had some people tell me that I know Tokyo better than they do. I put that down to the fact that I am an outsider and therefore everything is interesting to me, but a Japanese person living in Tokyo, everything is just normal for them and so they don't get around as much as I do. Much the same for me being an Australian. I have never been to Uluru (Ayers Rock) but many tourists have.<br />Anyway Noel, thanks again, and always for your comments. They are insightful and always a pleasure to read.<br />Take care,<br />Jason.jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-79272930919495060692014-05-10T01:09:41.973+10:002014-05-10T01:09:41.973+10:00Hi Jason.This brings back memories for me.I went t...Hi Jason.This brings back memories for me.I went to Odaiba by boat from Asakusa and wandered in to a restaurant/cafe area in the Fuji Building.Then strolled down to a plaza where a very good busker was performing a dangerous juggling act.I returned on the driverless train to the city.The little I saw of it looked futuristic and sterile.The Rainbow Bridge I remember too.Perhaps it is named this way because of it's rainbow shape and would look like this at night.I imagine it would take about 30 mins, to walk.The longest bridge I have walked is the Sydney Harbour, during the day.Interesting article...there is so much to do and see in Tokyo...I remember someone saying they had lived in Sydney for 30 years and still there was more to see for the first time.Perhaps you will get to know Tokyo better than the Tokians.(or should i say the "tokyoites".best wishes,Noel.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137421694632736091noreply@blogger.com
