The tallest building in Japan is the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills which is 52 stories tall. Sachan sees it everyday when she goes to school.

I have not seen Berzerker, but I did see a giant Pikachu (about 30 feet tall) a couple of weeks ago. Hello Kitty sightings are regular occurrences. I know the Power Rangers hang out close to Tokyo Dome where the Japanese Major League Baseball champs, the Giants, recently won the series.

Grass? Hmmmm, I don’t recall what that is. Haven’t seen any here in quite awhile. Oh wait, I walked through a moss garden a couple weeks ago when we were in Hakone…where we could see the volcano, Mt. Fuji, which is the highest mountain in Japan. The moss garden was quite lovely: the grounds of this garden were covered in moss with a rock path. The garden was bordered by bamboo. And there were Sugar Maples with bright orange leaves that had just changed…it was quite lovely.

Tokyo is the capitol of Japan and is one of the largest cities in the world. There are about 25 and a half million people in and around Tokyo. We don’t own a car, but don’t need one. We can walk or take trains anywhere we need to go.

Tokyo started out as a small fishing village, but then a Shogun (a military leader) moved the capitol here about the same time the British set up the colony in Jamestown.

Hope you all have a nice day,
Please tell Mrs. Whitt we said hello and ask her what kind of tea she wants for Christmas.

We also wrote a scary and funny story called Spookytown.
Could you tell us about Tokyo? We have been studying cities. How tall is your tallest skyscraper? Do you have real grass? How big is your house?
Thanks,
Marleny, Angel and Mrs. Whitt
PS:
Alan was not here today. If he was here, he would tell you about Berzerker. He would ask you if Berzerker comes out at night in Tokyo
