Glad I Live in Tokyo

I am so glad I live in Tokyo because there are many fine things to do in this city. For the price of mere shoe leather you can have yourself a genuinely interesting time just wandering the streets.

One of my bugbears about Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the UK was that it was a bit sneering of Sunderland even though Sunderland, a city with a poor number of restaurants and only one actual nightclub that one would deign to enter these days, has produced vastly superior culture (Futureheads, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Field Music). Tokyo is less sneering despite having more to sneer about and has a truly anything-goes culture.

Practically on my doorstep there's a photo gallery come dining bar that is absolutely lovely. F1.0 Blue Moment has great staff, great photos and Orion beer on tap.

I had a great time.
