How to fit in in Tokyo.

We observed many things in Japan over the last week. If you wanted to merge into Tokyo society like a cultural chameleon, here would be my top 3 tips:

1) If you don't know what the hell it is, you're probably supposed to eat it.

2) If you're aged between 14 and 21 and female, you're expected to dress like a slightly schizophrenic french maid at the weekends. If you're aged between 14 and 21 and male, you're expected to do your best to look gender-ly ambiguous at all times.

3) If you don't know what someone is saying to you, shout "Hai!" and do a little curtsy. It always works.
