Sayonara Tokyo

I`m glad to see everyone is actually enjoying a blog of mine for once!

I`ll be leaving Tokyo in a few days unfortunately and so I have no idea what my internet access will be like. If things go dark I`ll see you in two weeks, and I`m sure I`ll post again before I leave Tokyo.

Fashion trend watch: women seem to wear heels about 90% of the time. Usually with some variation of capri pants or, more often, rolled up jeans. Hair is usually dyed red to some degree or other as well.

Despite that observation it`s remarkable what sorts of individual fashion sense you can see around Tokyo. There are various theories in the group as to why, mostly revolving around some form of a response to the conformity of Japanese society in just about all aspects of life. (I swear 80% of the people here look almost related.)

Suspicion: i think many Japanese people speak much more English than they let on.

I am also happy to report that the subway does indeed start to make sense at some point.

I had tempura tonight. It`s, uh, fried stuff. Mostly fish, shrimp, and veggies brought out to you fresh as they come. Very very good stuff.
