Hello Sandwich Tokyo







Hello Sandwiches!

Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been off sick with a really horrible flu which has left me feeling pretty sorry for myself but today I finally got some antibiotics which should help me feel better soon (Thank you everyone for your well wishes on Twitter too! xxx).

I've now sorted my Tokyo pics into suburbs, because, guess what, I'm currently putting together a HELLO SANDWICH TOKYO GUIDE. eeeep! I can't count the amount of times people have asked me for Tokyo tips so I thought it might be time to start making it easy for people!

The guide is a little while off so I'm going to share a little sneak peek with you over the next few weeks as I post about a few of my favourite suburbs such as Nakameguro, Gakugei-daigaku, Jiyugaoka, Koenji, Kichijoji, Daikanyama and Shibuya. First up is Shimokitazawa, but before that can I please just share a few fun Tokyo shots?

  5. konichiwa sando!
    'm writing from hawaii, where as you know we have a ton of japanese influence going on, i myself am half-japanese (we're called "hapa" here, means half in hawaiian). anyway, we get the best TV show week everynight on our japanese programming channel, KIKU, called Soko Ga Shiritai, its pretty much my fave TV show....its all about Japan, mainly in Tokyo, but often outside too. Typically an inside look into people's lives, work, habits, diets, and hobbies......so rad. do you know about this? you would love it so.
