It's pretty much business as usual. A lot of foreign press has painted some very false ideas of an exodus from the city, fires, empty shops, and so on.
It is true that many foreigners have left, and public transport restrictions mean there are fewer people in the city, but that is it

but we got word they were pretty much okay. Anyhow, I've never been to Japan, but reading and watching your vlog is almost as satisfying, since I get to see the "real' " Japan. Thanks again.

Amazing how much Tokyo looks like downtown L.A., lol. Thanks for posting these. Good to know everyone was pretty much alright. I play taiko, and was very concerned for the people on Sado island,

Why do so many people in Japan (compared to other countries) where protective mask ?
TornadoXFighter 10 months ago
@TornadoXFighter The masks are for pollen/hayfever. Tokyo gets some of the highest airborne pine pollen levels of any city in the world between March and the end of April, and a lot of people are allergic, so they wear the masks, and often glasses, to avoid hayfever. In other times of the year, people wear masks when they have colds, in order to avoid coughing on people or spreading their germs - in those cases, the mask is worn out of consideration to others, and hygiene.

As the days keep passing Tokyo seems to be pretty much back to normal on the streets of Shinjuku and Shibuya. The girls are out in high heels and life goes on in the bustle... Good video, hope everything is good with you man

@CakesBomb Too right :)
I must admit, having a toddler at home, the news about the water was the most disturbing development so far in this whole thing, but even that seems to be coming right now. Let's hope things affecting Tokyo resolve themselves soon, so we can turn our attention to where it is most needed.
Cheers mate
