Yeah - sorry.  The first time (in the e-mail before that) I mentioned
the cultural aspect (artists), and then used the term "low class" only
because I was too lazy to properly explain what you just did very well
(thank you!).  I like most of the area just fine - in fact a couple of
visiting Portuguese friends I took there commented on how much more
friendly and relaxed it seemed in comparison with other areas of Tokyo
I'd shown them (we were in the area around Minowa Station) - last stop
on the last streetcar line in Tokyo.
