A walk around my neighborhood in Nagoya

The Kita Ku (Northern Ward). Famous for being only a few stops away on the subway from an interesting part of town.

Well, it's not purty, by it's (my temporary) home. Is it troubling that our school put us up in a building with prison stripes?

Some container gardens. When all else fails, go for volume.

Sometimes a container garden doesn't quite work...

Considering the fact that I've seen a lot of neighbors out working on the maintenance of their homes, putting a new coat of stain on their wooden fences and doing other projects, I can't imagine that they approve of this house. (I, however, am a fan of the blue gutters.)

The lights reflecting off the windows of this place caught my eye.
