We went to Shinjuku today to participate in an anti-nuclear protest. There were tons of people lined up in lanes that had been shut down on the roads, marching with police sectioning everyone and maintaining order. Completely different than rallies and protests in America. There was a real sense of community, and Tyler and I even jumped in and joined for a while. A little, old woman immediately came up and sincerely thanked us, beaming. She was cute. We've been told that this was one of the largest anti-nuclear rallies in the world, as there were many parades of people all across Tokyo.
