Tokyo through Expat Eyes

Interest forums / Travel Bloggers and Pathfinders

What's it really like in Tokyo these days? Has the current war of words between America and North Korea changed daily life in the Big Sushi? What about fears of a major 'quake? And is personal safety really all it's cracked up to be in the world's greatest city? What are some of the other plusses and minuses of being in Tokyo, from a long-term expat's point of view?
I'm in my 20th year in Japan, the 16th in Tokyo, and I've posted a list of the downsides and upsides of Tokyo, for residents and visitors alike. Check out Tokyo through Expat Eyes if you wanna know more.
