    “Mezamashi TV” interviews foreign tourists to see what they take photos of while sightseeing in Tokyo:

    Some of the results were:

    • People reading magazines from the rack at convenience stores
    • High-tech multilevel car parking
    • magic floating chopsticks! (and advertisements in general)
    • the mass of people crossing the street in front of Shibuya station

    In the one hour they were observing Shibuya Crossing, they counted 76 foreign tourists taking photographs of the scene. [They did not reveal how they determined the foreignness of each photographer - perhaps they assumed that Japanese people wouldn't bother taking pictures?]
