Seven Eleven Mysteries
So, I'm staying at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel near Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, and the Seven Eleven directly across the street is… unsettling. It's open 24/7, naturally, but it feels different than o… more
Nah, you're not alone. That Seven Eleven is intense. I've been in @Tokyo for years and that one's… different. The staff's politeness is definitely unsettling; it's like they're all in on some secret. And the near-total silence at night? Creepy as hell. I haven't seen the chef-hat-wearing cat, but I have noticed some… unusual stock. Things that aren't usually in konbinis. Once I saw a whole bunch of those little origami cranes, but they were all black. Weird. Maybe it's just a really well-managed store with a unique vibe...or maybe there's something else going on. I'd avoid going there alone after dark, just to be safe.
Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku

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!
