Time to go to the capital of Ireland! After 9 years I am back in Dublin, and a lot has changed. They have decided to build "The Spire of Dublin"; a 120 meter high needle pin in the middle of the city effected by the economic crisis. Unexpectedly sunny and blue skies in the middle of January.

This business trip in the land of the rising sun had plenty of opportunities to visit the touristic places of Tokyo. Some places are exactly as I imaged Tokyo, other places were a total surprise. See for yourself in this huge picture collection.
