Lived in Tokyo in the 80's as a teenager. Game centers where the place to be after school and meet kids from other schools. Loud places, usually close to train/subway stations. Games where between 50¥-100¥. Some game centers offered free melon soda. My game center was managed by a young and friendly Chinpira(low ranked Yakuza).

Bye bye Brazil 12 years ago

Native of Rio, spent my life around the world - Iran, Japan, US, France; had a "national identity" crisis, came back to Rio in my mid 30's and became very disenchanted with people's lack of civility, exorbitant prices being charged for low quality public and private services, and the omnipresent violence.

In the mean time, I am working on my online data ETL company and I'll be getting the hell out of here on 9/7/2014,the country's independence day.

Bye Bye Brazil!
