Miles of walking but amazing food!

Still not quite adjusted to the time difference, was up at 2am wide awake. Decided to take a long walk to an amazing brunch restaurant that opened bright and early and was rewarded with an incredible brunch! All the delicacies had their own cute little dishes and they gave you a tray with 9 spots. Each dish was more incredible than the last. Super nice people and a very cool experience. Next I grabbed an iced coffee and walked over to the Tokyo Police Museum. They had a helicopter in their lobby! Ha. It was a very cool museum with 5 floors of exhibits. The coolest two floors, with all their uniforms and historical papers, were no photos allowed unfortunately. It was nice because everything had English translations so I didn’t need to use my app the whole time. Also interesting is that the police department has a whole disaster response division for the country. A shocking statistic is that Japan has a 70% chance of a catastrophic earthquake within the next 30 years which is why they are so well prepared for it and educating the public so fiercely. Scary to think about an earthquake that big in this beautiful city. Next I walked around the city a bit, saw some of the flood control gates, saw a really cool theater, and had some refreshing tea. I couldn’t help but notice there were absolutely no trash cans anywhere to be found after walking with an empty cup for miles. Apparently, after the deadly Sarin gas terrorist attack on the subway system in 1995, they removed all the trash cans to reduce even the slightest bit of potential acts of terrorism that they could. Included their 75 year crime rate graph and you can see how low the crime rate has dropped in Japan and continues to drop. Very cool. Made reservations at the hottest restaurant in town for their next available date, Thursday, and am having dinner at a super cool fish house tonight! Also interesting to me is that putting shrimp on burgers seems to be popular here, it’s even at the fast places I walked by.
