Standing Bar

Shinbashi on Friday night. I walked past this standing-bar and it struck me that the downside of being able to read some Japanese is that views like this might start to lose their appeal.

It might not have so much olde-worlde charm when you realise the old wooden signs say things like "Cocktails", "Moscow Mule", "Soft Drinks" and "Orange Juice", with the prices.

Ignorance might be bliss I reckon...
