Walking along Ginza main street, one can't help noticing a huge silvery white building with an enormous bitten forbidden fruit on its facade and a giant laptop in its show window...
The Apple flagship store is huge and sleek, commanding prime real estate in the heart of Tokyo...
Gathering in front of the store is a handful of die-hard fans lining up for the new iphone5, bear in mind the launch is couple of days away... but this doesn't seem to faze these tech geeks in the least, they are getting comfy, with their folding chairs and bowls of noodles...
I'm sure the crowd has swollen by today. Apparently for the ipad launch in Tokyo, there were over a thousand of people waiting in line for days in front of this very store!

ReplyDeleteHello Caro
Another day, another compelling story in the land of the rising sun,
a visual story that spoked volume, a lot louder than words ever could,
the indelible picture of a frenzy, the highly anticipated wait for the latest
version of the widely popular gadget, the iphone5
No less eye catching, the unmistakably appealing sight of a giant laptop sitting pretty,
a showcase of hi tech used quite effectively as window dressing
