    Japan is just...better, in so many different ways. I agree with your comment, its one of my favourite things about the culture and its people. It encourages everybody to raise their game and just be their best Self. I don't really know of any other country that impresses people enough to prompt that effort. Beautiful.

I got called in to work for 5 hrs today after almost 1 month off (still technically off but we get called in when work is available...rare without tourists though).

    One of the most magical things about Tokyo is how completely quiet some of these hidden spots are, even being in the middle of this huge, bustling, densely populated metropolis. Togo Shrine right near Cat Street & Takeshita Dori in Harajuki is almost completely silent. It's amazing because if you walk for a few minutes in one direction you'll be walking in a colourful crowd shoulder-to-shoulder with teenagers and tourists, and if you walk in the other, you get to a busy main road and intersection. How these little 'pockets of green paradise' manage to remain so peaceful and silent is astonishing. A magic city. :)

    Nice, been wanting to go there for a while, I'm going to have to when this rain stops. If you haven't been there/filmed there, I suggest giving Kita Ku/Itabashi Ku some light - specifically walking from Oji/Asukayama along the Shakujii River towards Naka Itabashi - or vice versa (it all makes sense if checking google maps). It's not quite the same level of peaceful/nature as Todoroki but still pretty nice, and definitely awesome at sakura time.
