TOKYO IN MY POCKET

Tokyo Buys

Back when Anthony and I were planning our itinerary, I had to convince him that I needed a minimum of a day and a half of shopping in Tokyo since that’s what it takes to get through a fraction of what Tokyo has to offer. There was major shopping damage done but was very happy [...]

I’m the type of traveler that would eat and try everything I see whether it’s street food or a wonderfully displayed dessert on the window. One of my go-to snacks in Tokyo is the rice ball Onigiri from 7-eleven.

  Tokyo’s street style is a sight to see. Everybody is dressed to the nines and it was obvious that they use the street as their fashion catwalk. Despite the cold weather, you can see girls dressed in teeny skirts, knee high socks, platform heels and a coat that barely covered their bum. You can [...]
