I moved in 2003 from Calgary. To think the city had just come around to 900,000 and change at that point. I have to admit, everytime I come home the place looks different, and to put on 100,000 people in just three years is nothing short of freakishly unbelievable.
And to think I sold my condo in Kensington shortly afterwards, instead of holding onto it like a smart person.....
One million is a nice milestone, and for all of you who complain about the lack of services, let me say it's no where near the 18 million that inhabit the Megaopolis....
Traffic Jams

Don't like the roads, try the train (rush hour on the Yamanote line - the main line in Tokyo - thankfully I don't use it to get to work)

And once you're off the trains and out of your car, you can join the madding crowd in Shibuya for some fun.

When it's all said and done here, though, I really do like Tokyo. It's insane what people will get used to, really.
