Heh. If I lived in Tokyo, instead of a suburb in the US, just a daytime walk through a neighborhood without hordes of people in it might be a treat.

[One of my enduring memories of Tokyo is my spouse and I taking a walk early on a weekday morning. It was empty and quiet ... until a few minutes before the subways started running, when the commuters filled the street like a Bay of Fundy tidal bore.]
