Going to school (en caméra embarquée)

To satisfy all the people who asked me to take more photos of my surroundings, here you go, this is one of the way I take to go to school in the mornings.

So get down the stairs...

...arrive at the bottom of the stairs. Italian restaurant on left and bike park on right. You turn right...

...at the entrance door, turn right and you arrive...

...in this street. Continue straight on till the end of the street...

...where you turn left...
After scaring off a pedestrian, continue straight on...

...straight on..... (no I haven't been to McDo yet)

 ...straight on.....

...straight on and you arrive... 

...at a crossing.  Note the corridor for bikes, which is rarely used. So, after testing your katakana reading ability, you cross the street...

...and turn left. There's lots of bike parking everywhere,
one example here.

 So you go straight on...

...straight on...The yellow marking on the pavement is not to separate cycling and pedestrian lanes as I initially thought but is for blind people. There is some 3d motif on them so they can just follow. Note how it allows for the street lamp.
 
At the corner of the street, turn right.

Straight on....Post office on left (with red T), convenience store (AMPM) on right.

Another convenience store, Lawson, on left but we need to...

...turn right. 

Straight on, passing Softbank shop where I got my mobile from. Arigatou 

On right, a blue/yellow sign for the school and there is also a little red banner on left, you can't miss it.
 

Time for a little auto-portrait.
 
More stairs...

And here we are....
Time for coffee and cigarette...
