there’s a channel my antenna picks up, nhk world japan, that i find myself watching all the time. japan has always been a place i’d love to visit, perhaps even live during my life. it’s like a dreamland over there. japanese food, japanese fashion, japanese technology; all of that is fascinating to me. last night they had a feature on how hotels and cities utilize parking decks to be as space-efficient as they can. there were elevators for cars, allowing to vertically stack vehicles for optimum space conservation. it’s hard to explain, but the only way to describe it was next-level. then today, they played a 30 minute show called samurai wheels where they went to the 2017 tokyo autoshow and previewed some concept cars from different automobile makers and went into what the future for mobility has in store for us.
everything seems so cool over there, i gotta go in 2018.
