TOKYO - A Cold Desert?

by vigi - last update: Aug 16, 2003

Japan VT Members: you warm my Tokyo trip

Tokyo VT Meeting @ Roppongi 31/5/2003
Japan VT Members are GREAT!
They brighten my travel to Tokyo. You guys made me feel warm in this cold city. Especially Atsuko couple... next time, we shall go Yoyogi Park on Sunday! (^0^)

Well... I think, Tokyo is a cold place. Perhaps because of stress? Most Tokyo people do not smile, no expression on their face, and quiet.

Tokyo is such a vast, sprawling city that it is difficult for newcomers to orient themselves at first. Since I do not speak Japanese, I found myself have nobody to talk to while travelling alone in the day. Luckily, there are VT Members. On the 4th day, I found myself started talking to myself (not thinking, I spoke out). So, I decided to call up VT member, I need to talk to somebody, anything!!!

And then I caught a flu in Disneyland, fell sick and laid on bed for 2 days! I don't like falling sick especially while travelling...

Luckily, I recovered fast. And able to catch the parties in the following 2 weekends.

 Outstanding and very thorough Tokyo page, Virginia. I liked your story about buying one square cm in Ginza. Greetings from Florida.
