Back in Tokyo


Locals are obsessive about their favorite restaurants and stores.  They will line up for hours, rain or shine.  Our line up limit is 20mins so obviously we're not very 'local'.




The 'Flying Tiger', a Scandanavian dollar store a few blocks from our apartment , has such long line-ups that security guards are required to police the line-ups.  The store has been open over three months and there's no sign of line-up abatement...

At the gym each piece of equipment has a towel attached to it so that you can wipe it down after use.  


Even the homeless have neat rows of structures and half of them have potted plants on their doorsteps.
