289. In this cool music store, I found a music keyboard that used 14-segment displays! Those were popular on pinball machines, but it was exciting to see them used elsewhere.pic.twitter.com/S9f7AUPoUl

291. In another mall, after feeling overwhelmed, I sat down to one of the digital pianos, and simply started playing that one Bear McCreary’s sonata I know how to play. No one stopped me.pic.twitter.com/GoRJ1fyrOC
(If you’re interested, I wrote about this sonata a few years ago: https://medium.com/@mwichary/1-110-notes-9972f7779263 ….)
292. This happened more often, different flavours of being lost: in a bookstore where I couldn’t identify one single section; in a giant Shibuya train station, half under construction; in a heavy rush hour traffic where at times I felt I had little control over where I was going.
But at no point I felt unsafe, and those experiences I learned to treasure. Japan seemed like a perfect place to be lost before I went there; now I know it for sure.
Please do make these observations avail in a format that will be enjoyable to read for the many who are interested. Maybe a medium post?
I’m thinking about it. Can you tell me what bothers you about the current presentation…?
Your wrapup indicates there are nearly 300 tweets. Not sure I want to try to navigate it in that form + thought it would be a great read in toto for many who may not encounter it on Twitter.
Thanks! There are way more than 300 tweets, btw. :·)
