7:40am.

Sitting in Haneda airport, sipping on an iced ginger latte accompanied by a sickley sweet oreo muffin (I know! Not the healthiest breakfast but this adventure is about new experiences  so I can’t see why I can’t explore this concept through breakfast dammit!) it’s difficult to process exactly what Tokyo means to me… 

I’m no longer impressed by the cosmetics of a city, as I want to move beyond the glaring bright lights and feel it’s soul. On the surface Tokyo is a very amplified city and somehow manages to both reinforce and dismantle every stereotype I had of its inhabitants… 

But what amazing inhabitants they are! Perfect strangers who humbly offered me free guidance everytime I pulled out my Metro map trying to grasp my sense of orientation… 

I’ll be able to write more once I have had a little more time to digest the experience, but thank you Japan for offering me such insight into the human experience… 

Until next time… 

Hope you enjoy these photos. 😊
