Some good points gents, thanks.

Unfortunately have done balls-all sightseeing this weekend as I've been writing furiously on the Post-2015 global development goals. While my body tries to force me asleep at 0800 and wake up at 2200.

I have not found Tokyo as strange as everyone suggested I would. I am sure this will change when I go to my first pachinko/karaoke/sumo-ramen bar.

Pachinko isn't really any weirder than playing slots.

Tokyo isn't strange, it's just awesome.

Thats the japanese way!

And yes, tokyo really isnt all that japanese and wacky. I felt like i was half in the usa when i was there. The surface level super weird parts were touristised long ago, the current uniqueness is rather more underground and hard to notice without a solid grounding in the normal
