I have found some interesting things in some of the strip clubs in Rappongi. Apart from the obvious that is. The pay differential between Tokyo and Eastern Europe is enormous. One woman I talked to was a nurse in Romania and made more in a month in Tokyo than the rest of the year in her home country being a nurse. There was a pretty wide range of backgrounds in the women I met.

Ive never been hassled on the street there although I am positive it happens. On the other hand it happens in other places too, unfortunately. A couple days ago in Europe some really short, small weird guy either tried to take me down or physically throw me off balance enough to get my wallet while I was walking down the street in broad daylight. He locked his leg behind mine and kept trying to push me back to trip me. Never had anything like that happen in New York or elsewhere in the States but it is possible anywhere. I probably feel safer on the streets of Tokyo than any othe large city in the world. But it is a large city, and stuff happens.
