Ducks everywhere!



I never would have guessed what I would run into while exploring Tokyo.
One afternoon I decided to go find a grocery store that carried cheap cereal bars and nuts. I recalled Ameyoko (アメ横), a silly truncation of 'American' and 'yoko,' which I think means 'side'. Ameyoko is a mesh of alleys stretching between Ueno and Okachimachi stations, crowded with bargain and not-so-bargain shops.
Anyway, instead of shopping straightaway, I decided to get some air and walk through the park. And then... whoa!!! I splashed upon an entire population of quacks, in a huge pond, in the middle of the city.
I guess it's duck city for them, too.
