Something Gia got right that Juicy Couture didn’t was that everyone always wears the full set

The flights to and from Japan are so long. I finally understand why seat upgrades are a thing.

Japan thoughts:

• everyone stays out of everyone’s way. I like that

• “Pop” culture seems hard to pin down

• Manga is everywhere and for everyone.

• Everything needs a mascot. Everything.

• Stamps are the best.

• Every shop has this sense of curated abundance. Stores full of things yet everything in them slaps.

• More on stores: someone in there at one point had to understand the value of every item in it.

• It feels weird and rude to not understand someone because of a language barrier

• Cosplay 🤝 Drag (??? Early take)

• I’ve never seen someone press the door close button on an elevator faster than a Japanese person

• I only had one person really do the “I love hip hop” thing to me in my 2 week trip and I’ve dealt with hella racism in my life but the extreme fandom is a different beast
