The ATM had a really good price $20k at the time (comparable with exchanges). Lots of KYC and app download needed tho.
The VR and AR games were the best. My son wiped the floor with me obviously...
Good entertainment for the watching crowd though!

Son audibly said,
"damn you Siggy"
when you zapped him. The reason being? You'd knocked his walled down from 21,069 sats.
The good news though - he's changed his default zap to 69 to make up for it.

Can’t wait to see the pics. Was Tokyo like an attack on the senses for you? How did you perceive it?
Image uploads are in the pipeline and will be added to SN news pretty soon, I believe.
For now:
  1. find an image upload service like nostr.build
  2. copy the url & paste the image url in your post or message
  3. I always tend to surround it in markdown formatting, but I’m not sure that last step is necessary.
  • e.g. ![ image description ](image url)

not OP, but i've visited a couple of times. it's definitely cramped in terms of space and some neighborhoods (shibuy, akihabara) might fit that definition of, "an attack on the senses" because of the sheer volume of people and signage, but overall it's a very clean, modern metropolis.
i had an internship in chicago right after my first time in tokyo and the transition back was...horrendous. tokyo was way cleaner, safer, and quieter, and it made chicago seem like hell on earth.

I still can't understand how there's no trash cans - but also no trash anywhere.
Everywhere was completely spotless!
We loved it, and want to return, but next stop, Berlin (yes, I'm serious). I'm a big Eno, Iggy and Bowie fan - and love to look around the Bohemian and Bitcoin places.

Yeah the no trash cans thing was weird! I remember my friends and I kept talking about it. Our best guess was that the people just held onto it until they went home or something

Find the nearest convenience store like 7 Eleven to dispose your rubbish. That’s what I always do haha

Plus, yes, even in the very heart of Tokyo - the world's biggest city - it does feel incredibly safe there.

Yep, everything but everything was wonderfully unique and different.
I had Blade Runner in my head whilst my son had Ghibli in his. Neither of us were at all disappointed. Beautiful people, beautiful places. We both had what we can only describe as a trip of a lifetime.
We ticked off everything on our 'Japanese bingo card' - except an employee wearing a store mascot costume. Lots of catchy ear-candy store tunes ringing in our ears months later though!

Oooh, it might be a bit long, but here goes sensei!
Tokyo Tower Conveyor belt sushi Running man symbol Mount Fuji Bullet train Sumo wrestlers Japanese baseball Bullet Trains Crossing at Shibuya Maid costumes Cosplayers Pachinko Buddhist shrines Shinto shrines Vending machines Hiroshima Mario carts in the street Cabs with electric doors and white gloved and capped drivers Karaoke Godzilla peeking over building Imperial gardens Electronic toilets Cicadas Older Kyoto
I might have forgotten one or two though.
We knew we'd missed Ghibli Park and totally forgot to look out for the shop run by a dog and the giant tortoise being walked in the street.
Phew, and we saw all this in just over 2 weeks!
