ANCIENT STYLE: Albert Fobel and his son Jensen of Kailua browsed through the streets of Chinatown in Yoko­hama, Japan, on Oct. 21. Elizabeth Borge, who took the photo of her brother and nephew, said the shelves were “well stocked with our local brands. Lots of char siu bao in little shops that lined the streets. And this was the cleanest Chinatown on the planet, too.”
