10 Lights Lights Lights.
The City of lights for real...this place never sleeps.
9 Hot coffee in vending machines
ya, you heard me...the vending machines serve hot coffee...boy was that ever a surprise:)
8 The wild people
I thought the people in Whistle BC were wild, until I went to Tokyo.
7 Mini-everything
So everything you can think of in Japan is in miniature form...the hotel rooms, the food portions...even their delivery trucks were mini...adorable.
6 Anime
Beside the hotel there was an Anime company and they had these huge life size characters on the sidewalk...and when it rained they put custom rain coats on them...soooo cute.
5 Crepes
While exploring the city, friends and I had a chance to try the fresh crepe kiosks...all I have to say is...strawberry vanilla, chocolate drizzly..yuu-uumm. (sorry...no picture for this one...it would make you drool anyway...)
4 Harajuku
Harajuku is a district of Tokyo where art has taken over! For real. Its like a cartoon land of inspiration where art is everywhere! The walls are filled with illustration, the vintage shops feature local designers who re-work old pieces, and this area is constantly bustling with travelers and busy artistic locals. Amazing.
3 Organized Chaos!
There are so many people in constant motion in all directions but there's never a traffic jam...now that's called Organized Chaos.
2 Street Style
The style on the street is like no where else I've ever seen. Everyone is completely individual and they are proud of their unique approach to dressing every morning. Film and photography crews were frequently seen interviewing the local girls about their personal style and I can see why.
1 Honor
In Japan, honor is everything. I think we can learn a lot from the Japanese culture about how to honor each other and show courtesy and respect. For example, the Japanese bow greeting is symbolic of how honor is displayed to one another. I was really amazed at the beauty of the Japanese culture.
