I got wind of this site through Black Tokyo and I have to say that I enjoyed looking through the pictures that you took during your time in Japan.
And since you compare some things in or around Tokyo w/ parts of Chicago, I wonder are you doing the foreign exchange program based through a university in Chicago or you’re just mentioning it since you have some affiliation with Chicago? I’m from Chicago, so that’s why I’m asking, woohoo.
