Travel writers are a weird bunch of people who tend to think too much.
They travel and write to make a living (or a vague approximation of one), but sometimes it seems as if they don’t enjoy either activity very much.

Relaxing time!
I suppose it could be argued that you haven’t experienced today’s Japan unless you’ve visited at least one Joypolis, the reigning king of amusement arcades. This one, on the eighth and ninth floors of a shopping arcade complete with a Ferris wheel on top, overloads the senses with lots of flashing lights, bells and whistles, and throngs of squealing kids and teenagers.
