It isn't every day that a person sees the Google Maps people. I think it is pretty neat when I do because I regularly use Google Maps. In the US, I've only ever seen cars taking photos and recording locations, but this time it was a guy walking around the park with a backpack.
I wonder if this is a Japanese machine or an international one. No matter the answer, my expat friends and I have no idea how we used to live here without smartphones and online navigation systems. It certainly makes life so much easier!
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
