It was definitely surprising to me to see grown men in suits throwing up on the streets nearly every one of the seven nights I spent in Tokyo. I don’t recall seeing any of that in the three nights I spent in Kyoto but having said that I didn’t have many late nights there.
I’ll add that the attitude towards things like stimulants that help people with ADD/ADHD is also a bit bizarre to me.
- intertextuality 8y agoI’m was just in Tokyo, Shinjuku area. Around 5-6am while walking back from Golden Gai I saw guys in suits stumbling back; one guy face planted pretty hard and there was some blood. Overall it was fun as a foreigner but it’s weird to see this as acceptable but marijuana (even medically) as not acceptable.
