Today I got a visit to the emergency room,but I also got my new MacBook Pro, so I guess on average it was an ok day.

So someone made this post on Mastodon:

And that led another person to make this site: https://boat.horse/clock/index.html

This feels like some real old school internet stuff. For the younger folks out there, this is the kind of stuff that would pop up all the time on the internet in the late 90s and early 00s. No reason for it beyond it being cool and beautiful.

While the animated clock in the link sort of hurts my head, it still is beautiful.

In my experience so far there is more traffic in the airport than in the city of Tokyo.
One hour delay, nice 🤡
Lesson learnt: stay away from any place where there are more tourist than locals. Especially if they are groups of tourists.

Vending machines are to Japan what convenience stores are to Korea.
Pues en Japón tienen boquerones fritos.
Some more impressions of Tokyo:
- The city is not THAT tall, but is incredibly wide.
- It is quite chill for its size, but maybe I have that impression because I came straight from Seoul.
