I live in Tokyo. I almost never go outside.

in GEMS4 years ago

Hey Hive!

I'm a 29-year-old currently living and working in Tokyo, Japan. I moved to Japan from Canada two years ago, but I haven't made many friends here yet, and I hardly ever go outside except to buy groceries.

That being said, whenever I do go outside, I make sure to take photos so I can remember the occasion.

Although, strangely, some parts of Tokyo were as busy and bustling as ever...

... like at the famous Shibuya Crossing.

Tokyo really is a beautiful and unique city with lots to see and do, but due to the pandemic (and also partially due to my personality), I feel like I have barely experienced all that this place has to offer. For example, I never go out to eat-- this is 100% due to the pandemic. However, I've always enjoyed cooking and baking quite a bit, and lately I have been getting into food photography.

I mostly eat an unprocessed, low-sugar diet (but not a strict ketogenic one). I enjoy sashimi a lot, but cooked fish is good too. This is a photo of seared tuna with basil, and some fresh fruits and vegetables. In the future, I might share some of my recipes.

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while now, in hopes that it might motivate me to explore the city more. I also want to improve my photography and writing. What better place to do it than on Hive?

I look forward to meeting lots of interesting people here!

I like how you write and your photos, moreover the place you live must be really interesting for a foreigner, even though very difficult to integrate.
Maybe that Blog can open you for more adventures.
