If there is anyone following this blog, one might wonder about the quiet lately. Perhaps naturally, these pages have been quiet. The reason is natural, after all. COVID-19 has changed our world, perhaps and probably irreversibly so even if you and yours don't get directly affected by its wrath. So, with much of the world's attention and concern on the coronavirus, I feel it is not the time to write/blog about the various leisure activities in/around Tokyo. I'll leave that on pause until a better day when tourists and even residents of Japan can be a bit more carefree and reasonably enjoy things without fear of falling victim to this invisible enemy.
For now, the Edge of Tokyo has literally kind of been on the edge of falling into the trap of COVID-19, but still very much alive and well.
From my perspective, life has changed but a lot has still stayed the same. Work goes on somewhat as usual, as I work in a position required to be active in order to support various needed operations around Camp Zama and US Army Garrison Japan. So I haven't had a lot to myself, unlike many others. I am limited by where I can go, so there isn't a lot of new and unique experiences to share at the moment. I have taken towards video games at home to entertain and thrill me in the absence of the many fun activities I've grown accustomed to in and around Tokyo.
On a related note, I have started another blog with a focus on my photography and the experience/background behind each shot I share, at http://photoedgetokyo.blogspot.com/. It fills some of the gaps I have with my free time lately, and hope it tells an interesting story to its readers about the photos I take and have shot over the years.
Until the Japan (and the world) returns to some sense of normalcy, please take care of yourselves and others, and continue to find enjoyment in life!
