Tokyo at night is magical... there is conformity vs. non conformity everywhere, all at once. I never liked Billie Eilish but now I have recovered; damn what a voice and what lyrics. Tokyo, I'll love you til the day that I die.

23 years ago today four planes crashed in the worst terror attacks within our country ever. My wife is a flight attendant. For United Airlines. She was working that morning.
She was in Chicago very early at dawn (her base), and was on her way to either New York, Washington or Boston - her typical routes. I did the math - she had a 23% probability on being on one of those planes. I take these events very personally.
When I saw the news, I called her immediately. No answer. For one hour. You can imagine the terror I felt. My mind went to dark places. When she finally called back, I cannot describe the emotions I felt. And the anger. And the pride of being an American. Never forget. This image was taken in NYC by me as an unexpected tribute to the red, white and blue.

Aside from people watching, girls in costumes and anime, my favorite aspect of the Akihabara district at night is the parade of cars. Some of the coolest cars can be seen here - Japanese men are super fond of their cars and are fanatic tuners. They're everywhere and many are amazing in their customizations. But, they never seem to drive them recklessly. Some of the most coveted old school Supras can be seen here - models that go for a pretty penny here in the states (if you can even get your hands on one).

Hmmm... milk maids and Rolexes - they go together hand in hand, right?! Tokyo culture is so different and crazy that as a foreigner you feel like a foreigner. But it's all so electrically beautiful...

Akihabara district is literally electric. And is best seen in the evening and night - lit up neon lights everywhere, wild splashes of color, tons of people, anime, manga, comic book stores and maid cafes! Yum, yum good! 🫠

Most visitors to Meiji Park are only interested in their destinations - the torii, the shrines, the gift shop, the food court, the restrooms. Which no one rests in - why do they call them that? But the spaces in between are where the magic is - the gaps between trees, shrubs, branches and light. I'm sure few noticed this spot - the epitome of Japanese garden perfection.

Most people walk through this park (Meiji Shrine, in the Shibuya district) only focused on their destination: the various shrines and torii, as well as the gift shops and ice cream dispensaries. Oh, and the restrooms, where nobody rests - why do they call it that? But few look at nothing - the spaces between the trees, bushes and flowers. There is much there, especially when you are in a Japanese garden. Can you imagine that 5 minutes away is bustling Tokyo?

Inside yet another torii of the Meiji Shrine; into the heart.
"When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on?
When it's killing me, when will I really see
All that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me, what do I really need
All that I need to look inside.:
