It's becoming more and more apparent that Tokyo wants to be "another New York", as exemplified by this statue, which was a present from France in 1999. Last Saturday, J and I went down to Tokyo Bay to walk around and take in the sights. This area is called
Odaiba and is a well-known "date spot" in Tokyo. Couples can enjoy dinner and a movie, shopping and apparently domestic international travel (wink wink). Well, in any case, as a foreigner in Japan, I suppose it was nice to finally be greeted by the Lady of Liberty, despite her diminished size.
