Slow Living in Tokyo

Tokyo is massive. Even in the city center, it’s surprisingly calm. But out in the suburbs, it almost feels like a ghost town sometimes. It's so quiet! I’ve been here for nearly a month now, and honestly, I did NOT expect life to feel like this. Coming from Vietnam, I feel like I’ve experienced the full spectrum of East Asian living: from what my Vietnamese friend calls “organized chaos” to Japanese military precision. That said, I’ve really been enjoying the dance classes here. The teachers are excellent. I’m definitely going to miss this. If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Donovan. In 2026, I’m fully committing to dance and sharing my journey through a weekly vlog every Saturday. Subscribe to stay tuned. See you next week!
