During this tsunami,I've kept thinking "Should I just go to South Korea instead?" then I've thought "Nah!" I'll do the rest of Asia and of course Oceania when I live in Japan!
What I love about Japan is they really know how to make things epic,even if I don't know what the correct term for something is. The best thing I saw in Japan was we were walking along,and there just happened to be some kind of dance/martial arts festival on in the middle of Ikebukuro. And it was totally free. I don't know what it's called. There were like teams from all over Japan and each one did a kind of dance but with music and a voiceover. It was on on Sunday as well. They just never seem to stop. They must be powered by rocket fuel or something. They might just want our money but at least the entertainment is free.
The weird thing is I never saw any other non-Japanese people in Ikebukuro but I look at the photos after[and I've seen these photos loads of times] and I just realised the other day there was a Black Indian woman there too! I don't know how I missed that. This was also the time some bald old guy turned round and stared at me. He was obviously annoyed that a foreigner dared to step out of his little box! I just kept smiling.
