Coming back today. Food in Japan is awesome, people are polite. Went to the bar a few times and had a great time. Unlike bars in Vancouver where you get crap service and still have to tip. I don't a word of Japanese yet I felt very comfortable not to mention the snacks in bars taste good. And they are everywhere. I literally walk 2 mins where I stay and already the bs k alley is full of them. Sushi is awesome. This sushi place near the train station I went to almost dairy knows me lol. Pretty much the owner knows I don't speak Japanese so he try to communicate in English and give me a menu in English every time. He gave me a free beer today when I told him is my last day.

Clothing is also great. Got some pants, shirts and hoodies. I want to buy some jeans but they are too skinny for me. I can't fit them lol. Maybe the current trend there is those skinny jeans that's why. Was thinking of getting a pair if runners but no more room in my luagge. The baby and kids clothing looks so cute! I got a bunch of kids clothing for my niece.

People here are so nice. Even when the train station is packed they won't push or shove or try to butt in. Everyone moves into to the train to make room. Once I was looking for a specific store and google map was going weird I asked this girl for help. She actually took me to the store even though is out of her way. Very kind.

Just be aware there will be random people who speaks English to you saying there is some sales or offer you a cheap place for drinks. Ignore them is scam.

Edit the bars also open late like to like 2 to 3am or even longer. If you see a lineup for food just line up lol. I stuff myself with food. Street food are tasty but always a line up. Most restaurants and stores don't start opening till 11am so you can sleep in.
