Neo Tokyo

I love my new apartment and the area it's in so much.

The move went very smoothly and quickly. The multi-shapeable scaffolding-like Muji shelving system that I had previously shaped into a sideboard in my last place is now a set of shelves inside the huge cupboards. Having moved most of my stuff into these cupboards, I just spent ages on my sofa, tripping out on how much space there is compared to the last place.

The bathroom is one of those prefab capsules that is only just big enough for one person. And my, my the things one person can do in there. You can have a bath and wash your hands in the sink at the same time, piss all over the walls and it will all wash away, you could even shower while you're taking a shit. Japan is the master of miniaturization and efficiency.

The neighbourhood is amazing. It's an intriguing mix of old and new buildings, and either way the architecture is really diverse and beautiful. Walking home at night, I'm going down all these quiet little residential streets and in the near distance the Shinjuku skyscrapers rise up over everything (including the striking Park Hyatt Hotel from Lost in Translation), lit up against the night sky. It's pure Tokyo.
