The most surreal thing I have ever seen (except for maybe the pole kisser)
I am about to leave Tokyo and go into a rural area, on the old Nakasendo road between Kyoto and Tokyo (then called Edo.) It used to be THE major road in Japan, and lined with inns because it took a week or more to traverse by foot or horseback. Some of those inns are still there, and we'll be staying in one. So I may not have net access for the next couple of days, until I get to Kyoto.
But before I have to rush out of here to ship this quite amazing outfit I bought in Harajuku, spiritual home of Tokyo's most stylish teenagers, to the USA before I check out of the hotel, I wanted to mention something:
Last night while walking back to the hotel, on a street which was otherwise completely silent and empty, I saw a man's collared, button-down shirt on a hanger on a lamp post. A well-fed, fluffy white cat was on a leash that was tied to the post right beneath the shirt's right sleeve, so the shirt appeared to be taking the cat for a walk.

Manga Kissa
I also made a list for you guys for next time you come visit (you will, right???)
ALso Like i said, you have the most amazing experience here... AND I live here. Maybe I am just too used to the weirdness or I just don't notice them (scary thought...)
Re: Manga Kissa
The strange things we:ve seen in Tokyo remind me a lot of New York City, which is also famously odd.
