The wonderfully relaxed nature of a young couple who appear to have found love. And the way less comfortable posture of a pair quite possibly looking for it.

Tokyo cigarettes and alcohol
Tokyo isn’t all about fashion and putting on appearances — sometimes it’s simply just a case of some booze and getting by.
Tokyo festival emotions
There are several drawbacks to summer in Tokyo. There’s the heat and awful humidity. Not to mention the millions of mosquitos. But, there are at least a few pluses — first and foremost of which are festivals. Boisterous, full-blooded affairs, that as well as being a lot of fun, also allow people to fully express their emotions.
A different downtown Tokyo
Away from the neon lights and busy crossings that have seemingly come to define central Tokyo, there’s another, very different side to the city. One that is quieter, older and an awful lot slower.
Tokyo Times summer slow down
From today, I shall be leaving these incredibly hot and humid shores for the much cooler climes of not so sunny Manchester. A month long trip that will result in Tokyo Times seeing a similar slow down. So, instead of the usual 4 or 5 posts a week, there’ll be a far more summery 2 — on Mondays and Thursdays — until I return towards the end of August.
A relatively long period of time which may result in me missing a few things, but one of them certainly won’t be this sensation.
