Good: Public restrooms is great in tokyo. Regardless of where I went, I never saw graffiti or scratch marks on walls or mirrors and it was rare to see urine or poopy stains on the stall seat. You do your business and you leave. Why is that so difficult for y chromosome americans?
Bad: Ok, you might be a cute japanese girl trying to be stylie and shit but that wearing the sideways hat thing. Still stupid.
Good: Narita airport. Not only did they offer free internet access on public computers (except security was high, I couldn't blog), they had restaurants and stores that sold stuff at regular tokyo prices. Stuff there wasn't ridiculously overpriced like they are at LAX.
Bad: If the music industry is trying to crack down on the illegal use of so called stealing music, maybe they should check out the japanese because cd's here are like 30.00 a pop! There's a couple of cd's I wanted but I'm a go ghetto and grab a few in hong kong. Its not like i really need to financially support kumi kｏｄａ or boa do i?
Good: Bicycle riding. Lot of people ride bikes here but not because they view it as a toy or something "cool" to be seen on. They have have bikes cuz they really have to get to one place or another. Its a mode of transportation not a trendy item to have.
Bad: There clothes is expensive! No sir, I will not buy a tee shirt for 10000 yen. However, I did take pictures of the sales girls since that was free. Score!
Good and bad: Seeing yuki. Meeting a 17 yo cool japanese girl is always tops on my list and even more so when we were suppose to go check out a strip club. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. We both put in the request to ai and shingo (they were my guide and ride) but maybe something got lost in the translation. Or they had good common sense and we didn't. Haha.
