		<description><![CDATA[Yokohama Station, West Exit. Nine o&#8217;clock&#8217;s approaching and the mad dash is on. I&#8217;m at Joinus, on the corner between the Sotetsu-sen and Yokohama Blue Line, watching the morning, the day, this so-called life unfold&#8230; &#8230;The old retirees in front of Daiwa Securities anxious for the share price boards to begin predicting their futures; the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thursday night, SaRa&#8217;s wine and Thai bar in Ginza 7-chōme. Outside, rain. Inside, cozy at a table in the darkest corner of the room, Mizuki reflects into Cabernet Sauvignon. &#8220;The wind&#8217;s blowing like it&#8217;s the end of the world,&#8221; she whispers. I look at her, comforted by the fact it&#8217;s her I&#8217;m here with tonight. [...]]]></description>

And I&#8217;m somewhere in the clubs you never hear about, underneath the downstairs below. Hypnotically detached &#8211; my stare transfixed by snaking queues of impeccably-dressed fluorescent adolescents trying to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chinatown, Saturday Night. Slow moving rivers of people, families, and arm-locked couples meandering aimlessly in-and-out of restaurant-lined alleyways. Bicycles blocking entrances. Letters and numbers scrawled on walls like graffiti secret code. I&#8217;m in a pub hidden on the second floor of a souvenir shop/massage parlour; barely a room that&#8217;s overrun with postcards, posters, and photo [...]]]></description>

Whyte&#8217;s &#8220;Street Life Project&#8221; and subsequent books: The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces and City: Rediscovering the Center. Utterly fascinating and inspiring, his work helped me define my own observations and research into the human zoo. And I&#8217;m reminded of him every time another somebody collides [...]]]></description>

Some local artists (including myself) have just finished a show and want to celebrate, but between the five of us there isn&#8217;t enough money for a proper pub crawl. Solution: we hit a konbini and stock up on as [...]]]></description>

The train&#8217;s unusually empty considering the new year holiday is officially over. Just after half-past ten; I&#8217;m staring blankly out the window across me. About fifteen minutes into the ride, somewhere between Ofuna and Totsuka [...]]]></description>
