Yokohama blues

Actually, the title should say: "Yokohama grays . . ."

Yokohama is very gray. Today, I neither saw the sun nor a hint of blue in the sky. It was cold & rainy. The people don't wear colorful clothes; it's black, or black & white, or dark gray. Business attire. The favorite car color is gray. The buildings are mostly light gray, or beige, or dark gray, or tan, or off-white.

I went to the Yokohama History Museum, which was interesting: lots of old, graying, photographs of the old fishing village and the legend of Commodore Perry.

Visually, it's much different than Bangkok which has loud pink taxis.

In fact, Bangkok is much louder than Tokyo/Yokohama in every possible way.
