Welcome to my travel weblog!
Welcome to my weblog! I've just started this weblog and will try to keep you posted on my experiences during my travels. Have fun!
I am sure I mentioned many time that Tokyo is a very safe place. Not perfectly safe what is obvious, because there are dangerous people everywhere in the world. But comparing with London, Tokyo is kind of safety island. I could easily walk around the town during night time, and I was not afraid at all. It is so comfortable feeling. Japanese nights from May are very warm and also I wanted to take photos of street lights and illuminated buildings. I used to walk from Minami Azabu to Shibuya on foot, going through Hiroo and Ebisu. The way is quite simple and hard to miss direction. From Shibuya I could continue my walk to Harajuku and farer, to Shinjuku. Lots of people walk during nights in Tokyo. I think it is because they feel safe same like me and also they just enjoy night life. Some restaurants and bars are open till very late hours, actually to 4- 5 am in the morning. Harajuku is so quiet in night. Private houses are dark, only big shops glow and look like light boxes or parts of space station. Another glowing things are phone boxes, which are not broken or dirty like these in UK. I like it.
I enjoyed watching shops' windows and displayed goods. In night time all looks more attractive and brighter. IN general, Japanese have great stuff to buy in their shops and if man has money, can buy lots of great things.
It was fun. I hope that next time when I have a chance to be in Japan I will walk in night time more often. I have feeling I could see more and enjoy deeper. I will next time. It is promise I made to myself.
