Wondered around my halls of residence…the path conveniently leads to a nice path and I now finally know what the weird building with the silver orb is! (fuji tv)
Weird flame statue and statue of liberty….cute

Aqua city… had a look aroundBought soil for plants…and pots… to hopefully make them happier.

any how on Monday (which was a holiday over here... something about health and fitness...neither of which I did anything about) I went for a little explore around where I live and took a few photos, which was nice...I also found out what the weird building with a silver orb in it is...although it still didn't really explain why someone had felt the need to build it. And I did find out the name of the funky cantilever/cable stay bridge near me is called then I promptly forgot. But yes...lots of weird buildings near where I live, and a nice new park too...
As I walked towards the docks more I also managed to find the statue of liberty....and a shopping (well several actually) mall...just past the statue of liberty there was a better view of the 'rainbow bridge'...spend a couple of hours wondering around the shopping centre (which also contains a cinema) but it's a bit of a fashiony mall....with more expensive versions of things that you don't want.

I wonder over to the silver orb building for a closer look and find out its' the Fuji TV building...and I think you can buy tickets to go up to the orb to get a view of the city...but I'm not sure I'm up to trying to buy more tickets by myself...I prefer the lower embarrassment factor associated by looking like an idiot in front of a machine instead of a person...

it's actually very sunny and rather hot as I walk back towards my halls...I take a detour and go over to the shopping malls of Toyosu...in search of potting materials for my new green pets...I think they would like larger homes that they can grow into...I end up buying more junk to fill my room with in the hope that buying more kitchen utensils will make me a better cook...unlikely...
so I spend the evening re-potting my plants in the hope that they will live a long and prosperous life...however my track record with plants is not so good...but hopefully these shall fair better :-S
