While Tokyo is all about affluence and fun, if you look closely and at the right time,
you would see the other side of it too. Now, after more than a week here, I am yet
to see even a single pan-handler here.
But, a visit to the Karaoke bar on Saturday night, introduced me not only to the
awesome night life that they have here, but also to those that do not have a home
over their heads.
Its kind of sad to see people (mostly men, rarely a woman also) try to get some sleep
on the sidewalks, in a sort of shelter they create out of cardboard cartons. Some, like
the one in the picture above do not even have the shelter of the cardboard box.
Ofcourse, the Karaoke bar warrants a blog post of its own which I plan to do soon.
