As you can see from the previous moblog post, we went to Yokohama for Lunar New Year. We stayed overnight to catch the parade the next day. I've put together a small set of photos on flickr (the shot of the man with the figurine-covered hat is a classic). Here's another set taken of a "slow food" cafe called 80*80 just outside Chinatown, near Bashamichi Station. See this article about Japan's "slow life" trend, written by Momus for Wired.
Below are links to a couple of short video clips shot on my mobile (Sharp 802SH). Some crackles in the audio at certain points -- must've been the masses of crowds rubbing together. If you don't already have QuickTime installed, you can download it here.
