I have a bad habit of taking pictures of people sleeping in public; not only in Japan but also while being in Spain. Our sleeping positions are not as original as the Japanese ones but we’re not bad at sleeping our siesta anywhere.
The latest HRP-4C robot developed by AIST is so realistic that is kind of scary; at times it seems to me that it’s almost capable of crossing the uncanny valley.
Notice how realistic the eye blinking is!
One of the last things that I do before leaving Japan is to eat sushi at this restaurant at the Terminal 1 of Narita airport (4th floor). There are several sushi restaurants at the airport but this one is my favorite. This last time, the chef told me that he’s been working there for more than 30 years! Also he told me many anecdotes about travelers that have eaten sushi at his restaurant, some of them famous people, and some of them businessmen that looked like “James Bond” (that’s how he told it to me).
Here you have the exact place where the sushi restaurant is located inside Terminal 1.
