Or if you click here on the blue lettering there is <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Tokyo_aerial_night.jpg/800px-Tokyo_aerial_night.jpg" rel="nofollow">a night view of Tokyo</a>. That is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Tower" rel="nofollow">Tokyo Tower</a> over on the right.<br /><br />The population of the contiguous urban area is about 35,000,000 (35 million). Depending on how you define “Tokyo” or “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Tokyo_Area" rel="nofollow">The Greater Tokyo Area</a>” the population runs from 9 million to 43 million.<br /><br />You could walk for days and not emerge from that urban density. <br /><br />To get a woman’s-eye view on the ground anywhere in this concrete jungle just click and drag that little yellow guy in the top left corner <a href="http://g.co/maps/pbc4u" rel="nofollow">here</a> and plop him down anywhere there is a blue line (or area).<br /><br />The first time I was in a back street in Tokyo it was overwhelming to think the density went on forever with no respite. I didn’t see how I could ever handle it. But I think your mind localizes and knows paths back to familiar places and from there back to home, which is really just your neighborhood. You end up having a lot of neighborhoods: your home neighborhood; your work neighborhood; various shopping neighborhoods; entertainment; friends, et al.<br /><br />I used to think of Tokyo as a giant puzzle. It was fun and challenging to add more pieces to the puzzle. It still is fun.
