Japan part I - Tokyo

May 2nd 2014
"I am Godzilla and you are Japan" We have for many years said to each other that it would be interesting to visit Japan some day. We always said "one day" because we kept postponing that journey for economical reasons. The Land of the Rising Sun is too expensive to travel in we thought.

We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next.

Cute!
Great to hear about the $5 noodles and lots of free toilets--I've always wanted to go, but thought it too expensive. Thanks for the good news. I've had lots of Japanese students and can speak to the Japanese love of Hello Kitty, manga and the young-girls' band. Japanese love anything "kawai" which means "cute," so you'll find "salary men" or professionals with stuffed animals on their desks and young women dressed as little girls. Except for this, I love the Japanese aesthetic.
