Tokyo (City with Desaturated Sky)

Fun Facts about Tokyo 
  1. Tokyo people are grumpy, very fast paced. 
  2. There are millions of exits in the subway, from number 1 to 10, from number 1A to 1G 
  3. Even seven eleven food are super nice, you can warm it up in store
  4. Better use translation app, they don’t speak English, on the first day in Tokyo, I was lost and I have to stay in a random hotel on the way because the Taxi driver doesn’t recognise English address 
  5. Omote sando is a busy commercial street and the buildings there are all designed by famous architects. SANNA, Sou Fujimoto, Taodao Ando, MVRDV,   I like the DIOR by SANNA and Stella McCartney by ED REEVE in particular 
  6. Have a book an Omakase in Tokyo, super delicious
