    I watch a lot of videos of people just exploring Tokyo and other cities on foot. Good stuff.

      I sometimes watch those walking videos after visiting the city. Its whole different feeling than watching random video.

      There are tons of videos of people walking around Japan. I usually watch them while working out.

      I found on YT a lot of videos driving through Tokyo. At first, I thought is very big and messy. The more I watched, it clicked how is organized ( the ring around it, the main streets, the neighbourhoods, etc ). After a week, it had the strange sensation I am living in Tokyo , since I was involuntarily remembering flashes of streets or corners. Even now, after months, I can close my eyes and see them, like a real memory of walking down that streets.
