Let’s face it: rain sucks. Most people hate it. Shoes and socks get wet, people have to buy umbrellas, accidents occur more often, and readjust their schedules due to delays.
But for me, I LOVE the rain. Not only is it refreshing after a rainy day, but the way it changes the mood of any city is captivating. Before I moved to Tokyo, I’ve always had this image of what metropolitan Tokyo was like: a grungy, crowded city (similar to Hong Kong) lined with neon lights and business establishments stacked on top of each other.
So, on the first rainy night of 2018, against all natural instinct to stay indoors and stay warm cuddled under my KOTATSU, I braved the freezing cold to capture that nostalgic, Tokyo “mood” I’ve always had in mind.
