Tokyo Completely Broke My Brain (In the Best Way)

10 days, too much ramen, and one karaoke box..I never want to leave

So I genuinely did not think a city could live up to the hype but Tokyo somehow exceeded it?? I'm still processing. Day one I stepped out of Shinjuku station and immediately got lost for two hours and it was honestly the best two hours of my life. The food alone, I'm not kidding, even the convenience store sandwiches are better than most sit-down meals I've had elsewhere. I ate tonkotsu ramen at midnight standing at a tiny counter with eight other people and none of us spoke the same language and it was perfect. Harajuku was a total sensory overload in the best way. I spent an embarrassing amount of money in a five-floor stationery store in Shibuya. And don't even get me started on the karaoke! Went in thinking I'd do one hour, stumbled out four hours later with a destroyed voice and zero regrets. Would I go back? I'm already looking at flights.
