🌙 Escaping the Crowd in Japanese
Suggest stepping away from noisy public places. Getting fresh air, finding a quieter spot, calling a cab to leave together.
“Forgive me, but I can't hear a single word in this Shibuya bar. Shall we find somewhere quieter? Tokyo has more hidden corners than you'd think.” — Anya, your host for this unit
