Tokyo Tsubibo

December 8, 2005


 

It is supposedly the largest and tallest ferris wheel in the world.  As high as a 30-story building, this monstrosity sits in Odaiba, a new part of Tokyo with lots of shopping and home to some of the high-tech companies in Japan.  This is the best picture I could wangle out of my borrowed digital camera.  Tokyo’s a great city and the more we look around, the more convinced we are that the Philippines will never catch up — at least not within our lifetime.  I guess we don’t have to develop to this point.  There’s a price for all of this and I’m not sure we’re ready to pay.   It would be nice though to see Manila grow into a city like this.   Well, we can dream, can’t we?
