when in rome...

So as it turns out, I miss Tokyo so much, I'm now trying to imitate my old friends' dos. :)

Actually, I really wanted to do this before I left, but I had an inkling that it might get hot and sweaty in Asia (the inkling turned out to be a minor fraction of the reality I experienced). And bangs dripping down my face were the last thing I wanted. Good call on my part, let's be honest. Because now I can protect my Japanese hair by darting into an air conditioned house or vehicle with equally cool air blasting on my face.
