i went to visit the most famous dog in the world, Hachiko. in the time i stood there, i must have seen hundreds of people take turns getting a photo. what a good doggie.

went to play hide and seek with Alyssa in the shibuya crossing. can you find her in this photo?

what would happen if the signals broke? it would be chaos.
