Tokyo: Cafe Culture

Anywhere you go in Tokyo you are bound to find a multitude of cafes. And not all of these cafes are your normal coffee shops. There's maid cafes, cat cafes, manga cafes, and even owl cafes. Going to a cafe in Tokyo is an experience all in itself. Whenever I went to a cafe I knew it was going to be something unique. There is so much thought put into the atmosphere and the layout of a cafe and you can really tell that they pay attention to detail. There was one small cafe that I went to that looked like an actual forest. There was a tree in the middle of the store and it was the cutest thing I had ever seen. Not only did the place look nice, but the food was amazing as well. Time and time again I was amazed by these Tokyo cafes. So amazed, in fact, that a friend and I decided that we would try to go as many different cafes as possible. We wanted to see what the possibilities were, and we were not disappointed.

As I mentioned before not only will you find normal cafes, but also niche cafes. It's been talked about many times on the internet about cat cafes and the fact that you can drink coffee while petting a cat. Yes, it's as amazing as it sounds. It's so cool that the Japanese people came up with this idea of being surrounded by one of the greatest animals in the world while drinking a coffee. It's so creative yet such a simple concept. You will find foreigners and Japanese alike enjoying the wonderful atmosphere of the cat cafe.

Tokyo cafes are something, I believe, that can not be found anywhere else in the world. I could describe hundreds of more cafes, but I think you should experience it for yourself. If you are ever in Japan make sure to take a tour of Tokyo cafes. You will not be disappointed.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
