Downtown Nagoya

The Nagoya Marriott is located in the upper floors of a high rise in the middle of town. The lower levels are a swanky mall, and converging in the basement are dozens of of train tracks connecting from all over Japan. At street level there was a huge open plaza, offering some of the most interesting people-watching ever. At any given moment you could look through the crowds of bustling commuters and see about a hundred people all in the same pose, expectantly holding their cell phone out at arms length, waiting for their hook-up to text them.

I ended up with a killer view out my hotel window. Here it is both at day and night.
