Tokyo’s Muslim

Two men walked a worn road while others quietly laughed.

Shibuya Station, originally uploaded by Jawaad Mahmood.

On my way to a Robert Walters event, I snapped this picture of Shibuya. I love that place, but I rarely get a chance to go (eventhough there is a direct train from my place).

It’s the kind of place that’s great to go when you have money, and torture otherwise.

Got this from the ACCJ; anyone interested can tell me and I’ll sign you up as a guest of mine.
