I am definitely agoraphobic and do not like to be in crowded places at all. And there’s no better way to feel this massive crowd than arriving in Shibuya. It’s such a large city, populated by 13,5 million habitants. The first thing you notice in Tokyo, is its vastness. We decided to take that week off entirely, to be able to adapt into this completely new change of scenery and of course, to explore the thousand facets and cool bits of this gigantic megalopolis. I couldn’t be more grateful of how life ends up unfolding these possibilities.Ībout a week ago, we flew into Tokyo. Therefore, we made it a point to spend a couple of months here, and with the help of a friend/previous client of ours who offered us a stay in his house in Kyoto (in exchange for creative endeavours like re-decorating his place), that was made even easier. And after staying around this side of the globe, in Melbourne, we thought: “the time is now”. Japan was a place we just had to go to and experience together. There was no way I wouldn’t go back there just to share this amazement with him! There was so much I experienced and so much I brought back with me, so much that I wanted to actually share with David.

I had been incredibly intrigued by this country’s culture ever since I ate my first sushi, read my first manga and watched a few random japanese shows. Several years ago (in 2009), I had the chance to travel to Japan with my dad.
