Yesterday's major touristy plans were foiled by rain and wind. And my own inability to predict that if the skies are this bad then perhaps it is a good idea to carry an umbrella and possibly one day invest in weather sealed cameras/lenses. Do they even make MFT weather sealed cameras?
(but hey, all that made for a few amusing instagram photos of my trying to wait out the rain and in the end just giving up and going back to the metro in the rain… and wind)
Still, I went to check out if there were any signs of those cherry blossoms next to the waterfront and the answer is a simple "no", all the trees are still bare.



With the wind this little overpass did not provide any shielding from the rain but there was an underground passage nearby.


Speaking of metros and trains, yesterday I got into one of those "women only" train cars. I didn't even realise till I got out of it and saw that it was coloured differently. I thought they were only on JR lines but apparently the regular city metro also has some on certain lines.
