I'm uploading some images I took with my iPhone that I posted on Facebook for people who aren't on it, like my parents. Today I went to Shinjuku and many businesses were closed and conserving energy-and the big TV screen at Studio Alta was also shut off.
I usually cut through the JR station to get to the east side of the station from the Keio line and there was orchestrated chaos as people lined up in the station for the limited service trains (many were cancelled due to the rolling blackouts).
This picture was from Friday the 11th, the evening of the big quake, when all trains were stopped for several hours and hordes of people walked home from work-here walking west from Shinjuku. The elevated expressway was shut down so traffic was also at a standstill.
