[u/basicbong]

It’s always crazy that an island can look like this

[u/cat-consumed-chicken]

tokyo, egypt?

[u/refusenic]

Not a single tree or green to blemish the concrete 😍

[u/ElectricPiha → u/refusenic]

Apart from the trees in the top left and bottom right of this photo.

[u/ForukusuwagenMasuta]

Looks like one giant downtown center. You'll never see this many buildings in the states.

[u/ElectricPiha → u/ForukusuwagenMasuta]

Thing is they’re almost all low- and mid-rise buildings so it doesn’t feel closed in like say, NYC.

[u/topclassladandbanter]

Possibly the easiest metropolis to get around in. And cleanest, highest quality of life compared to any other large metro

[u/EconomistSingle9403 → u/topclassladandbanter]

Agree! Anyone that downvotes you is probably just a China glazer that thinks a building with LEDs on it means the future is now.

[u/dicecop → u/EconomistSingle9403]

Maybe the Chinese think the future is now, but Japan has no future altogether lol

[u/Longer---Donger]

I met my future wife there

[u/Agreeable_Use_8670]

Currently staying at Shinjuku

[u/Rubber__Chicken]

Looks like Cairo.

[u/Designer-Golf-5444 → u/Rubber__Chicken]

How dare you compare this monstrosity to Cairo!

[u/ComplexZombie7981 → u/Designer-Golf-5444]

cairo is far worse lol

[u/DarkerDrone]

Been a few times. Amazing place, incredible setting, nothing quite like it.

[u/ElectricPiha]

If you’ve actually been there you know Tokyo is one of the cleanest, tidiest and most polite cities in the world. 

[u/Psico_Penguin → u/ElectricPiha]

And with a very noticeable lack of greenery.

[u/ElectricPiha → u/Psico_Penguin]

Tokyo has parks. If I want greenery I won’t be in a city.

[u/Spiritual-Trifle6044 → u/ElectricPiha]

yeah, does this "If I want greenery I won’t be in a city" gimmick works for other cities like cairo and mumbai as well.

[u/Psico_Penguin → u/ElectricPiha]

Ey, I live in a city. I look through the window and I see plenty of trees on the streets.

[u/Ok-Difference1341 → u/ElectricPiha]

While i don’t disagree i think they meant like overall greenery instead of just pockets of it. Also some people want greenery but also want to be in a city for the job opportunities and such

[u/dicecop → u/ElectricPiha]

They build bridges along water ways, cables hang as if it's Mumbai and the building quality is piss-poor. Being clean is just the bare minimum of being considered civilized

[u/Beef_Curtain_Clitler]

I rate this 5/5 Egypts.

[u/xGentian_violet]

So this is just an extremely blurry copy of the image posted here the other day?
