Tokyo Livin’
So getting more settled here – I’ll try and get a few more updates going, but it’s constantly awesome and amazing the variety of places there are to eat, to shop, to hangout. And there isn’t even a service like Yelp to cover it all. I’m so accustomed to using some geolocation food finding app …
