東京/とうきょう

Konnichiwa!

If today I were Mr. Frederickson (from Pixar's Up) and I could fly my house anywhere, I would most definitely choose to take it to Tokyo. Ahh, that city. I've only seen Tokyo in pictures (and clips perhaps), but that city never fails to excite me. The fast life, the lights, the food, the undeniable art in just about anything, it's like the perfect playground for self-expression. It would be dreamy to live there, with the high cost of living, language barrier, and all. But if any day someone tells me that I have a plane ticket by magic, I'd fly there and probably enjoy the city real good. 

I have to admit I don't know much about the Japanese culture. I've only taken one elementary Japanese language course, and besides sashimi, Shu Uemura, and some Hiragana, I know nothing about the Japanese lifestyle. I never did anime or JPop. However, it would be totally cool to immerse in such a culture full of art, life, and one which is never stationary. Ahhhhh, Japan! 

My interest in Tokyo probably stemmed from visiting Shanghai last summer. I think I'm really fond of the Oriental metropolis lifestyle rather than the serene by-the-shore sort of vacation. 

Would it be safe to say that I find Manila quite boring?
