You know that oddly specific feeling when…? 😂

I stumbled across this exhibition in Shibuya that somehow turned all those tiny, hard-to-explain everyday feelings into actual exhibits.

Some of them are so ridiculously relatable that you can’t help but think, “Wait… I thought I was the only one!” 😂

Definitely one of those very Japanese experiences that makes you stop and think, “How did someone even come up with this?” 🇯🇵

“Micro-Relatable Exhibition 2 + ‘That’s Way Too Small!’ Exhibition”

* July 1 (Wed) – September 30 (Wed)
* Last admission is 30 minutes before closing.
* Seibu Department Store, Shibuya Building B, 4th Floor — Event Space

Sometimes having too much authentic Chinese food isn’t necessarily a good thing and you’ll end up missing what’s on the other side haha taken in Shibuya, Tokyo by @istpexpat

I live about 2,500 km away from Japan, but for the past two years, I’ve made the effort to come back almost every month. 🇯🇵

Yuya is not only a skilled hair dresser, he became a friend that I can always go back to and it’s crazy how quickly 2 years can go by. #japaneselearning #japantravel taken in 二俣川 by @istpexpat

Wow, didn’t expect them to have a store dedicated to the Suica penguin! Too bad he’s retiring next year as the official mascot taken in 桜木町駅（Sakuragicho Station） by @istpexpat

Easiest way to get a break from the crowds on the weekend. For only USD$14, you can get a private room, unlimited drinks and lots facilities for 3 hours! taken in 新宿 by @istpexpat

Crazy how Taiwan has one of the highest concentrations of convenience stores in the world. It didn’t take us long to find this one stepping outside our hotel. Didn’t think that we would find corn on the cob and even tea eggs there! by @istpexpat

Can’t believe I got upgraded from economy to business for the minimum bid. I’m going to take EVA Air more often from now on! #evaair by @istpexpat

When LA tacos make a guest appearance in Hong Kong you don’t miss it. 🌮🇺🇸🇭🇰

Stopped by Tacoria Super Macho for their limited 3-day collaboration with Tacos 1986 from Los Angeles. Definitely one of those pop-ups worth checking out if you’re in the city.

Not available on most Tokyo commuter lines but very useful if you’re going to Yokohama via the Tokaido Line, Yokosuka line or Shonan-Shinjuku line. Kamakura via the Yokosuka Line or Chiba via the Sobu Rapid line taken in Yokohama, Japan by @istpexpat

Shopping directly from Japanese retailers as a foreigner can be difficult but there are always ways to make it work. Shipping to a hotel is a surprisingly a viable option. #japantravel #日本旅遊 taken in Yokohama, Japan by @istpexpat
