I was still getting things up and running around the site when cherry trees started blooming and Hanami, cherry blossom viewing, swept through Tokyo. We were fortunate enough to meet up with a childhood friend of Mary's who lives here now with her family and we...
Tokyo is effin big... yo. Interesting tidbit, of the 47 prefectures in Japan, Tokyo is unique in that it's the only one that's called a 'Municipal Prefecture.' Basically that means it's so goddamn big that they were like, "Screw it, there's no more room for anything...
