Finally it's Autumn!! The season started for long ago, but finally you can feel the actual change in the weather. It's around 15 degrees Celcius outside, and sometimes it's even raining (once or twice in 2 weeks). Well, it's too early for the rainy season, it's in Winter. But this is what Japan looks like when it's rainy (sorry for the bad quality of the photos, I was taking pictures with my phone. I promise to replace them as soon as I can ;) ):
This is, by the way, the famous Shibuya crossing - the most crowded pedestrian crossing in the world. There can be up to 2.000 people crossing this road here on a Saturday afternoon at the same time.
And this lovely place is near Ikebukuro station :D
You probably noticed the transparent umbrellas - they are everywhere. Not all people remember to watch the weather forecast (which is about 90-95% accurate here in Japan) in the morning. So if it suddenly (for some people) begins to rain outside, they can go to the nearest convenience store, kiosk, drugstore or supermarket to buy one of these umbrellas. These are disposable umbrellas, only for one time use, therefore, they cost around 500 yen. Though, I've seen one in a supermarket for as little as 150 yen! If you're a fan of transparent umbrellas, you can also buy a normal one, which won't break after one use. These will be at least twice as expensive.
