Tokyo for Beginners
This is Tokyo, or what little of it I saw. What a whirlwind trip that was, a 3 day orientation for the JETs was held in Tokyo, but I had very little time to wander around. What a freaking shock, I can’t read anything and I can’t talk to anyone and my day and night are completely flip-flopped. I had a blast, go-figure! In the near future I will post pictures of my most recent trip to Tokyo, which has nothing permanently slated on the agenda with the exception of taking photos.
Welcome to the city of non-stop go-go neon.
Complete with giant mechanical moving crabs.
And yes, the vending machines are everywhere, even (as I was soon to discover) in the countryside.
5 o'clock AM ramen pit stop after a long night.
The Keio plaza was a very posh hotel, complete with bathroom bidets. Even the toilets aimed to please (kick me for that one later).
The icons were fantastic, my favorite being the straightforward tush, it perfectly explains everything.
The city that goes on forever and ever, until next time...sayonara.
