I have always had a fearless disregard for my mom's advice to not talk to strangers. Whether I am visiting a new city or country, I gravitate towards the locals and their secrets. We all know those little treasured spots that always take your breath away, but are not found in any tourist guide. In Tokyo, I always ask the locals what is the best way to view the city. This old man on the train once told me in his limited English "From the sky". And so viewing Tokyo from the sky we did.
