I watched this thanks to your post! I want to go to Tokyo so bad. I want to go to the little bars featured in the show. The little bars where only 6-8 people can go. One of the barowners interviewed said photographers, writers and cinema directors frequent his bar. I wonder if Sofia has been there??

:D

Well it is quite possible! Sofia has spent time in Tokyo when she was younger ( i don't know how young though), as most probably already know. I would not be surprised if she did go there...In Japan, the drinking age is 20, but its not very strictly enforced. People i know in Japan said they've never heard of people getting kicked out of bars, clubs etc. for that reason. Underage drinking there is not nearly as big a problem as it is here in the West, so they dont' feel the need to take drastic measures or police the entrance....

Tokyo is very unique. You can go from the most revolutionized buildings and machines, the ones no one else in the world has yet developed to temples and buildings older than the United States itself. I promised myself I am going to go there this summer but we'll see. :D
