Tokyo Times

Last month when I was in Tokyo my gang of travelers and I were stopped by a handful of foreigners (foreign to Japan, that is) in Shibuya on the last night of our trip. Since we'd already agreed to skip the subway (the train shuts down at midnight) and take a cab back to our hotel we decided it wouldn't hurt to hang out with them for a while and chat about Tokyo culture and where to look for panda costumes. It was an interesting moment in life. How often does one get to chat with a bunch of people from France, Italy, Canada and etc. whilst hanging outside of the 7-11 (or as it is known in Japan, the "7 and i Holdings") in Shibuya?



The former-American of the group of foreign guys was this gentleman - Gabriel - who currently lives and works in Tokyo.




Gabriel has a blog about his day to day adventures in Tokyo that I've been reading since we got back. Check it out: New Gabriel Times

Ever wonder about the floating heads? I know I did. And now I no longer have to.
