in all its glory

This is what I have been waiting for. And indeed, it was worth the wait. To see the limits of human engineering stretched out as far as the eye can see. Despite the fact that the Tokyo Metropolitan Building is only 48 stories tall, I've never been so impressed with the view of a city landscape before this. Imagining 30 million people living in the Tokyo metropolitan area is difficult, let alone imagining 30 million people with individual hopes, dreams, failures, and successes. Yet still, I was in awe. The view was great, and seeing Tokyo from 45 stories up made the city seem as if it was in tranquil slumber. So peaceful, so quiet, yet, so busy.
