Kyobashi River

A nice view of the river from either our dormitory or the Toyoko Inn. I can't seem to recall.

We walked that bridge nearly every day on our way to the station and back.
The tide is high. The bank of the river is actually where you see the boats tied.

This particular mayoral candidate took his campaign by river!

We cheerfully waved back at the campaign personnel until a choice word from their megaphone struck our ears, gaijin. We were told that nowadays this word is considered a slur for foreigners and has negative connotations. The more appropriate gaikokujin should be used. Since being informed of this, we found our selves more attuned to picking up on times when people dropped the "G-word". Also, Adam started singularly supporting Kashimura-san whose campaign personnel we had posed with earlier.
