On Gordon Price’s last full day in Tokyo, we get a few more shots of that Tokyo colour (and pattern) that seems to follow him wherever he goes.
He also passes along some anecdotal statistics, which lead to a surprising trail of empirical support from various internet sources:
- Yes, it seems that in some places in Tokyo, residential vacancy rates are in the double-digits
- Yes, a remarkable number of Japanese people are living (and dying) alone
- Yes, a relatively recent survey suggested that almost half of young Japanese men and women are virgins
And on that note, a farewell look at Tokyo.
