Tieless in Tokyo

After a lot of saving up, combined with a year of Japanese language evening classes, Anthony finally feels prepared to visit a country that had always seemed too far away and too daunting to ever experience for real. Join him on an amusing amble through the streets of Tokyo, where you can take a swim in Shinjuku, go on a hunt for breakfast swords, discover English literate ducks, throw cat food at fish, pretend to be a rock-star, experience a bottom full of pins, participate in a spot of kiosking , travel on trains with crustaceans, marvel at a golden tadpole, commute like a local, travel up the moving stairs of job oblivion, sympathise with a bullied skyscraper, nearly get attacked by zombies and learn how to make a stairwell interesting. Although it's a must for all armchair travellers everywhere, it's also a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read.
