That's quite a difference. I keep wondering how much different daily life really is in Tokyo. Hard to tell from the little bits of news I read.
[Reply]Greg
Not significantly. Probably the most visible change right now is that a lot of escalators have been shut down to save power.
[Reply]sebastian
It looks so much nicer darker.
