An incredibly dense city.

322
324

Starting to move south uphill...it's more hilly than San Francisco.

Got seedier moving north.  Saw women standing in doorways and wondered if they were 'women standing in doorways'.  Yep.

Wonder how many Michelin stars they have?

Subway to go further north, since I concluded walking it at night wasn't a good idea.
