A walk around the neighborhood 09


Looking away from the river, you can see that the area is build up. The long horizontal building is the Yaotome Subway Station, which is above ground at this point.This is a trash collection point. Almost every one has a little structure like this. There are smaller ones in some places that are just covered with rope nets. The main reason for this is crows. They have learned to tear open the plastic bags that are required (buying the bags is a way of collecting money for your trash). Once they have ripped open the bags, they scatter the contents and look for something good to eat. It makes a real mess when this happens.

This is the view looking back along the path that I walked. I passed right in front of the two large apartment buildings.
On this side of the river there is a truck farm on the open space that is provided as a barrier against flooding. The building in the back is my apartment building. I live on the extreme right side of the two buildings and on the second floor.
