Arigato Gozaimas Japan

Japan, like traveling inside a video game.


We’ve been in Japan a few weeks now, and its a world of extremes.

While its not as technologically insane as I thought it would be, nothing here is done lightly – Sweet, Salty, Fried, Crowded, Heated, Busy, Trains, Cleanliness, Funny English, Rules, Temples, the list goes on – everything is a big deal.

Stares of astonishment as we don’t wait for pedestrian lights, pay for the metro, or walk on the sidewalk, we’re probably Japans current most notorious criminals, and definitely the tallest.
