Tokyo - broken lens

So wednesday i finally changed my travelchecks






I then got ready to leave tokyo, but accidentally brooke my 24-70 lens :( i felt awful as it is really a vital part of my equipement and is also a quite expensive lens. Luckily nikon will repair it and i'll have it back when i'll reach Osaka on the 13th. If i had the lens brooken in italy it would have probably taken much more time to repair. So is not that bad afterall :)
