Yesterday I went to Asakusa where there are little shops with very cultural items and snacks. I got a melon ice cream and bread with banana filling. When I was looking around, everyone was very welcoming and nice. I personally don’t know any Japanese so it’s a bit hard trying to be polite in a way Japanese speakers would understand. However, they store owners were friendly and I enjoyed looking around at items in the shops. I have never seen some stuff that people were selling so it was interesting.
I also went to Skytree and looked down at the city. Unfortunately it was a little foggy so the view of the city wasn’t as clear as I expected. The shopping area was very cool because there were lots of clothes, shoes, accessories, and toys I wouldn’t be able to find in Korea. I am not good at self control when it comes to shopping so I didn’t actually shop, but I only took a look.
The city is peaceful and quiet. I don’t mean that there isn’t noises from cars and all, but the city is relatively safe. In Seoul, there would always, no matter what time of day it is, be noise from the streets. Cars would be honking at each other and there is constantly a lot of traffic and accidents caused by reckless driving. Here in Japan, I wouldn’t mind going for a walk outside because I’m not as scared of being by myself late at night and it’s a lot more tranquil. I enjoy how a big city like Tokyo can be unproblematic.
