I Love Tokyo!

It's my first time to visit Tokyo and I'm lovin' it! The people are just very nice, very polite and helpful. Most might struggle to speak English but it does not hinder them from helping people out when you're asking for directions or ordering for food (most menus are in Japanese).

Here are some of my observations during my short trip:
1. Customer service is very good.
2. They (Japanese people) say "thank you" ("arigato gozaimasu") a lot of times.
3. The trains in the morning are VERY packed. Though they queue up while waiting, once the train comes, they would really push you and try to squeeze in.
4. Although most have been influenced by the Western culture, I still see very 'traditional' Japanese companies. While walking to work every morning, I'd see employees exercising outside of the office, which by the way I did for a year when I was still working for a Japanese company 8 years ago.
5. Most toilets are very advanced, equipped with seat warmers and a lot of buttons to press: to spray water, to change the water pressure, etc.
6. EXPENSIVE! :-D

I will be uploading some photos pretty soon!
