The only option was to take the stairs, which is limiting for someone with a physical disability. Additionally, the doors to many stores, restaurants  and shops opened by a tap of a button or you simply had to pull the door open. To my disappointment, there were not too many free wifi spots around Japan. Sometimes there would be wifi in the train stations, but in restaurants and stores you would need a passcode. At the times when I asked for the wifi passcode, not very many people were willing to give it out to me.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The Digital Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan was the most interesting place I visited. It's called the TeamLab Borderless museum. All of the art was 3d and interactive. 

Other Travel News from this week:

The first thing I noticed about Japan is the lack of space, at least in the larger cities. Many of the restaurants had tables that sat at most 4-5 people. I traveled in a group of 10, but we soon learned we’d have to break up. Even the bathrooms in the restaurant were the size of a small closest. If you’re the claustrophobic type, you would not survive in this country! Many people took public transportation such as trains where space was also limited. Oftentimes, I would have to squish onto the train. Even the cars on the street were boxy. They literally had a square back! I assumed this was to make it easier for them to fit into the small parking spaces on the street.
