The Yomiuri Giants are the the New York Yankees of Japan. You can love them or hate them, but ambivalence is not allowed. They're by far the richest and most successful team in Japanese baseball, with 22 titles under their belts. (The Saitama Seibu Lions are in second place with 13.) We took a trip to the Tokyo Dome to see the team in action.
After dedicating the morning to Yokohama's historic harbor district and grabbing lunch in Asia's largest Chinatown, we moved farther north up the bay and spent the afternoon in the more modern part of town.
Well, we blinked. We tried our hardest to resist the impulse, but three seconds after stepping off the plane, we blinked... and here we are, a month later. Understand this: Tokyo warps time. This city causes hours, days and weeks to collapse into a blur. A colorful, wild and entertaining blur, but still just a blur.
