Concrete conformity

Perhaps not the most inspiring place in the world to live.

    It reminds me a lot of this one apartment complex in Warabi, the town in which I lived. Whenever I’d visit my friend’s house I’d pass a monstrosity of a building. This building seemed to extend forever. It took about 5-10 minutes just to walk past the damn thing, and I would be far away from it to begin with! Imagine how much longer it’d take to walk if I was right next to it!

    A student once told me that Warabi was the most densely populated town in Saitama-ken, and judging from the apartment complex in that town, I can believe it.

    Hi, i found the above picture mesmerizing, and decided to host it on my blog. I browsed through your site, but i couldn’t find any copyrights, so i went ahead to host it. However, if you mind, tell me and i will remove it off my blog promptly. Btw, the image will be linked back to your blog. Cheers.

    No, that’s fine.

    I’m more than happy with a link back.

    If you stare long enough at the photo, an image of Sylvester Stallone as Rocky appears. Trust me.

    True, it may not be the most inspiring place, but at least you’ve got 10,000 other people who share your misery.

    When I first looked at it I thought it was some kind of server rack :P.

    The picture appears to bulge out at you as you scroll down. Creepy!! On the bright side, the building’s tenants do have easy access to the world’s best food, even if they lack central heating.
