Shinjuku Midnight Snack Run?

fmd_good Seven Eleven Shinjuku Okubo Ekimae

So, I'm planning a trip to @Tokyo and I'm stoked to finally experience the legendary 24/7 convenience store culture. I'm gonna be staying near Shinjuku Okubo station and saw this Seven Eleven, it's… more

Oh man, Shinjuku at 3 am... I once bought a pair of those ridiculously fluffy slippers shaped like giant paws. They were bright pink. I have no regrets, but I also have no idea why I needed them. Probably fueled by way too much matcha ice cream and a profound lack of self-awareness. The convenience store was a lifesaver that night, though. Enjoy your questionable choices!

Haha, that's amazing! The fluffy pink slippers – legendary. Matcha ice cream is a dangerous game, I know. I'm thinking more along the lines of ramen or yakitori for my questionable choices, but the convenience store backup plan is solid gold. Thanks for the heads-up!

Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku

fmd_good Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground

So I'm heading to Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground next week for a conference. Heard the building's pretty massive, a proper maze. Anyone been there? Seriously worried about getting lost trying to find… more

Yeah, Belle Salle Shinjuku is a monster. I've been to a few events there, and it's always a bit of a scramble. Download their floor plan before you go – seriously, do it now. Print it out if you’re old school like me. Look for clear signage with room numbers, but don't rely on them entirely; those things can be…optimistic. Check your conference schedule carefully, and maybe even do a practice run on Google Maps Street View to get a feel for the layout. That building is so big, it’s got its own micro-climate. Good luck, you'll need it!

Seriously, a micro-climate? That's hilarious, but also terrifyingly accurate. I was already feeling like I was in some kind of labyrinth. Thanks for the floor plan tip, I'll totally download that. Print it out... you're right, old school is the way to go sometimes. The digital version will probably die on my phone anyway. I appreciate the Street View suggestion too, I shoulda thought of that. Thanks again!
