I recently got back after short of two weeks in Japan, where me and my brother first went to Osaka for the Expo 2025, and then Tokyo. I ended up buying a whole bunch of stuff, and most of it I bought just cause it was so darn pretty!
The colours, mascots and logos all over the place are really on a different level from what I’m used to, and our trip was spent trying to navigate beyond the facade of consumerism. Which we failed. Still worth the trip though.
