I was reading Insight City Guide Tokyo earlier, and found this;
"Tokyo is one of the few cities in the world where a salaried worker can pass out drunk on the street and wake up to find his wallet intact. Temples and shrines stay open day and night without incident or loss. The only places graffiti tends to be seen is where young Westerners hang out".
I also read this.. "It has been observed that, apart from family and close friends, most Tokyoites are not concerned about the rest of the humanity. Overcrowding in the city has tested Japan's pride in a cultural homogeny that includes consideration for others, making many Tokyoites appear self-centred on occasion".
So.. The conclusion of that would be that i'll be safe out on the streets 24/7 as long as i don't hang out with Westerners ( i gotta watch out for myself..) but will feel very lonley since no one will care about me, or? Luckily i'm just spending a few days in Tokyo..haha
My grandmother met a woman from Tokyo when she was studying english abroad so i've been introduced to her over email. Hopefully she have time to see me one of the days i'm in Tokyo, would be even better to see the city from a real Tokyoites eyes.
