From Tokyo to Okinawa, everyday life in Japan can feel surprisingly different.
In the Yaeyama Islands, closer to Taiwan than Tokyo, a walk through a truly dark night made me question what we call convenience.

This episode is about travel, convenience, and what we may fail to notice when we arrive somewhere carrying our own idea of what is normal.
