A selfie of me in a yokocho. Paper lanterns hang in a row from the ceiling on the left, with yellow lightbulbs hanging from shop eaves on the right. Wooden tables with menus on them and backless seats crowding next to them spill into the alleyway. I'm a bald, middle-aged, white man with a red beard flecked with white. I'm wearing black sunglasses and a maroon shirt, with the thin black straps of a backpack over my shoulders.
