THE SABBATICAL - Episode 9: What the Tokyo? (Tokyo, Japan)

Two whole weeks on sabbatical in Tokyo!
On the first day of their two weeks in Tokyo, Baby William turns into a toddler. The trio celebrate William's first birthday and then prepare to settle in for 14 days under the same roof. Two weeks in the same place also allows the family to live like locals.
But when in Tokyo, there are a few things touristy that must be done - like going to sumo wrestling, visiting an owl café, singing our lungs out at karaoke, going to the arcades in Akihabara and spending way too much time and money at Yodobashi Camera.
Two weeks in Tokyo was absolutely awe-inspiring, between the millions of people at Shibuya crossing, to the queuing and quiet aboard the Tokyo subway, every little element was uniquely Japanese and uniquely Tokyo.

“The Sabbatical” is a hobby travel series following the adventures of Steve, Marlene and their baby William, as they take a year away from work to tour the world. The Canadian-German family start The Sabbatical from their home in Switzerland. But with no return ticket, no home to go back to and no solid plans or professions to return to, the trio make the best of the nomadic lifestyle while adjusting to living life on the road and out of a suitcase.
The Sabbatical has no sponsors and is not monetized. We’re in it purely for the joy of travel and to document our once-in-a-lifetime experience for family, friends, followers and - most importantly - our future selves.
We hope you’ll follow along and enjoy!
