August, first day in Japan. I woke up at 3AM and decided to walk around and see if I could find a place to eat. Most places were closed or a little too secluded for comfort. There was also a street with many black cars and men in black suits, some wearing white gloves outside what appeared to be a nightclub or restaurant. Being a 20s foreign female walking around at that time I attracted an interesting reaction from that crowd. Lets just say, I did not turn to walk down that street. I happen to spot the Police Kiosk in the other direction and stopped by to ask for information. Two of the officers stepped outside to speak with me and point me in the direction of the nearest AM/PM. They also took note of the direction I came from and watched me walk away until I was out of view. It gave me some comfort that they were being observant. They were very polite.
