Traveling tips

How to send things from UK:

You can get a small, medium, or large box at post office (haven't tried royal mail but they're similar?). You can send a small parcel = less than 2kg internationally for a reasonable price. From UK to Japan is about 25 quid for 2kg.

Tokyo Bars

Good:

BAR ORCHARD (Ginza)
High Five (Ginza)
Mori Bar (Ginza)
Bar Hoshi (Ginza)
Ben Fiddich (Shinjuku)
The SG Club (Shibuya)

Ok:

Star Bar (Ginza)
swrl (Shibuya)
Gen Yamamoto (Azabujuban)
グランドファイン (Nakameguro)
