Tonight is my last night in Tokyo, the last night of my one month vacation. I've been staying in the No Legroom Suite at the Over-priced Hotel, but that's how things are here. Expensive and often small. But I don't want to overstate things: It might be cheaper here than Europe nowadays.
Tokyo confirms for me that I prefer to travel in small towns or the countryside, where it's easier to meet and talk with people. This city is big and crowded and confusing, so I've often felt lost. And since I have no interest in shopping, I've found myself at wit's end as to what to do with myself other than walk around looking at everything that looks like everwhere else here.
But last night I happened to fall in with a great group of people when I stopped at a bar for a drink. I ended up spending all my money on a round of drinks, then going to a club, then walking home with the help of convenience store clerks who somehow gave me directions. Fortunately it wasn't really that far.
It was a nice last adventure and sums up what I'll miss when I'm back home: meeting many new people, making new friends, and having new adventures every single day.
