Tokyo Curiositeta

We figured it was time we mentioned what really makes Tokyo so great. Lots of things obviously. There's the way people walk in steams but never bump into one another, or the way storeattendants always greet you with a hearty "Irasshaimase!" (Can I help you) and smiles.
But there's also the things..the stuff..like-

- The Coffee. Fantastic variety. Marthe is currently drinking Instant Coffee with Orange/Caramel flavour.
- The Desserts. That you can buy at 7/11


- The electrically powered T-shirt that keeps you from sweating
- The hand mirror shaped like a chocolate bar
- The facemasks that are actual tissue masks with cream, so you don't have that smearing business (Though it does make you look like the killer in "Saw III")

- The metro screen that tells you which doors will open and why it's late
- The large variety of renown Pockey Chocolates (We couldn't resist the urge to buy "Pockey..For Men")
- The fact that they have a coin type without any spacific number (it took us a week to figure out it was a fiver)

On a more general update: Life is good, hope you're all well. Tomorrow, we're gonna see a dance performance at the Bunkamura Theatre and shop around for more stuff for you folks back home.
