LOOK: Artist creates 30 animated GIFs to illustrate life in Tokyo
Cultural differences can be both interesting and difficult for someone moving to a different country. For artist James “Jim” Curran, it’s the source of inspiration for his 30 GIFs project.
During his one month stay in Tokyo, Curran spent six to eight hours a day to craft looping GIFs that each illustrate an aspect of his daily life, reports RocketNews24.
People will find it easy to relate to his works, particularly those who have been in Japan for vacation or work.

The automated toilet seat experience is apparently one of the most told stories.
For day 30, Curran opted to visualize the iconic RX-78 Gundam statue, which was taken down to make way for a new Gundam.
