Tokyo: Cafe Culture

more than just coffee

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
