Central Tokyo -- Meguro, Ebisu, Roppongi -- are where all of us foreigners live.
It's like living in Manhattan, Nob Hill, or Los Gatos.
You're pretty insulated from... everybody else.
I live on the edge of Tokyo. Uber eats was here occasionally before COVID. They did not effectively exist at all in pre-pandemic Saitama, Kanagawa, Osaka, or Sapporo.
Now -- Instagram and Twitter are both companies that succeeded here.
Instagram, because Japanese people love taking pictures. I have to wait to eat dinner every day because my wife wants to take a picture of whatever it is I cooked.
Twitter is used very differently here than in the US, but I think I'm right in saying that they're the #2 tweetiest nation on Earth.
