After a fleeting stop at home, we&#8217;re in Japan for a proper holiday (yet somehow I&#8217;m still here writing this&#8230;) with the first stop in Tokyo. It&#8217;s like nowhere else here, and this is now probably my 10th trip to Japan over a period of more than three decades. What I think has changed the most in terms of my perceptions of Japan is that back in the 90s, it was just <em>so<\/em> high tech here because we hadn&#8217;t seen a lot of the stuff that was on the main streets of Tokyo. Now, the world is much more global; we&#8217;re all using the same phones and watching the same TVs and nobody is talking about the Walkman any more. Same epic food though, and we&#8217;ve been smashing through some amazing dishes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/troyahunt\" rel=\"noreferrer\">full pics on Facebook<\/a>).
