    On my way back from work last Friday I stopped by Sangenjaya to meet up with Midori, and she brought me to what I think has become my new favorite cafe, a-bridge. Great atmosphere, funky furniture, a tiny gallery space, an outdoor deck on the roof… They also had lots of books laying around, including…

    I hope the Chinese demonstrators are happy now — over 12 000 cancellations of trips to China made by Japanese in the past few days. I’m sure owners of duty-free shops and souvenir shops throughout the country are weeping as I write this. On the other hand, I imagine it’s probably really cheap to get…

    I’m looking for some recommendations of nice cafes in Tokyo that offer free wireless internet access. I’m especially looking for tips on places in Harajuku/Shibuya/Aoyama (and Ikebukuro). I’m not really interested in chains (Starbucks and the like). I’m basically looking for some places where I could plop down with my laptop and write for a…
