I have been asked many times, Why am I returning to Tokyo?
What do I find so appealing?
Tokyo is a extremely energetic city, without some of the issuse other cities have.

It is a city based around people, not cars.

Walking, transit and bikes are the main modes of moving around.

People have a respect for others... You don't hear taxis honking at street lights, you don't find litter on the street ( you take your wrappings with you). Even in large crowds people still respect your (small) personal space.

Do I expect Tokyo to be uptopia?
I know that there will be things I won't like. I am going there with open eyes.

I have traveled a bit, and Tokyo was the first city that I felt as comfortable in as Toronto. I am going back to learn more.
