]]> Comment on Coming soon, the New Tokyo Station by Paul http://thewesternworld.net/2011/10/11/coming-soon-the-new-tokyo-station/#comment-291 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:41:46 +0000 http://thewesternworld.net/2011/10/11/coming-soon-the-new-tokyo-station/#comment-291 At least they did not demolish it and build another skyscraper! I remember the beautiful historic brick Marunouchi Building across the street from the station when I used to work for MELCO. “Maru Biru” had some great restaurants and shopping in its beautiful halls was took you back to the art deco age. It was replaced with an ugly modern glass building that has more real estate space (its lower level tries to copy the style of the original). No regard for history – it should have been protected as a national landmark!

Though of course all the ones built since the collapse of USSR are toned down to say the least.

I tried some of them but not satisfied yet… Many people suggested Amazon, but I couldn’t figure out how much I should pay for my data using their calculator… So currently I’m using the primitive but effective method to send an encrypted HDD to my mom :)
