Ohayo!



The splendor of Japan cannot be articulated in visuals and even in words. My ignorance of this country proves as a complete laugh. The city of Tokyo is really that of a magical and the Japanese are worthy to be proud of what they have achieved since World War II.

The past week in Tokyo was not just shopping and gourmet spectacular, but it encapsulated an understanding of how the Japanese work and a deeper understanding of their culture.

From Shinjuku to Omotesando, Tokyo is never short of international brands to serve the market. All levels of shopping can be found in this vibrant city and one can truly say that there is everyone for anyone here.
A constant raid of the shopping districts in Tokyo can even amount to a nightmare that never ends. The nightmare of not having enough money to buy beautiful things and to don beautiful art. You can almost say that every piece of fashion is what one would call a piece of art. How can I resist the pleasures of buying pieces of art, when what I deem beautiful in life is never practical. Layouts of retail stores are never boring and with an availability to invigorate all senses. The well thought out shopping experience starts from the hardware; interior décor to the exceptional service standard from the various retail staff from the outlets. They truly take pride in whatever they do and give it and additional detail to make it stand out.

I will definitely be seeing more of Japan in the years to come. You have not seen the last of me.
