My point in the comparison wasn't about the actual green space and what they look like - it was to point out that each large city has a large park for residents to visit - stroll, jog or meet in - and it's a great place to view a microcosm of life in that city. Especially if you are visiting as a tourist - and not as someone who is visiting someone they know who lives there. It' s a great way to see a slice of daily life you might not see visiting shrines, temples or skyscrapers.

Sorry if you are disappointed, but to me it doesn't look that great. Seems like a good place to watch people and maybe relax, but it doesn't look anything like the fancy Luxembourg Gardens.Travel Notes and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875753860047263264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236483471506976307.post-56874211851307955902015-11-07T04:41:04.108-08:002015-11-07T04:41:04.108-08:00Thanks for visiting Mary!

We love big city parks (this week's post is actually on the Boston one). They're great places to people watch and relax and they're free. I love the interesting things you saw though. I don't remember seeing any of those other than some kids dressed Harajuku style.
