Hotel Nikko Tokyo Minato

... chodili ludia zdalo sa mi vsade velmi prazdne. Na letisku tu maju super system kde Private Lumousine company pouziva autobusy namiesto limuzin na to, aby vas dopravila do hotela. Je to siet priamych autobusov ku stovkam najznamejsich hotelov, pretoze hotely su tu vacsinou organizovane do zoskupeni, kde na jednom mieste je aj 10 hotelov. Jazda do mojho hotela bola len 3000 Yenov, co je asi 20 EUR. Takze velmi lacne na Tokyo. Za 1,5 hodinu som uz bol v hoteli ...

... to the Dj play what sounds like the same tune over & over again with the trendy crowd cheering at every raised beat we move upstairs. Blimey this room is massive with a huge mirror ball suspended from the ceiling. Hoping that this place has a Dj specialising in 80s mixes I'm quickly disappointed to hear the same sort of thudding techno nonsense up here. However... they then switch on the laser - wow this is impressive! Before we know it me & Jack are reaching for the laser ...

... con un tipo fino fino. La gente es educadísima, no sé si serán racistas pero desde luego lo disimulan muy bien. Día 3/08/2008 Ali: Hoy hemos comido en un restaurante típico japonés unos langostinos tempura (el tempura está muy rico), lo peor de los restaurantes típicos es la manera en que tienes que sentarte en el suelo, cada 3 minutos se te duerme una parte del cuerpo y tienes que cambiar de postura, en el restaurante no hablaban inglés pero por lo menos la carta estaba traducida ...

... Loving it all, had aaaalways wanted to visit Japan.. and indeed it is sooo different to home, fascinating culture, place and people, and yummmmmmy food! Right at the core of the day's activity wherever we may be is of course planning lunch and dinner.. this is sacred!! The people do their best to politely accommodate me!.. but a loud and boisterous, non-conforming rulebreaker is certainly not the ...

... It's quite a sight to look out over the city. Finally, we met up with 2 of the university students from our earlier visit for a dinner of shabu-shabu. You cook meat (pork in this case) and vegetables in broth at your table, and then dip them in various sauces. It was delicious! And wonderful to go with someone who speaks the language and suggests what to order. We had a great time with our new friends - fun conversation and delicious food.

Back in the maddest and the confusion of working out the subway system in Toyko...although I am starting to get better. What makes it better is watching other Japanese also confused in which line and where the hell they are going!!! Friday night after getting some cash and meeting up with Aimee and Charlotte, we got some grub in....only I could eat mine as Charlotte was too intoxicanted from the previuos night to eat and Aimee tasted of burnt coal. Plus I treated them to the worst film ...

And so the job begins... sorta. We didn't have to pile into cabs for the job until 2:30, so Joanne and I decided to do a bit of light sight seeing this morning. We took the train out about 20 minutes to Asakusa. (I sing the song "Mama say, Mama saw, Asakusa" everytime I say the name of the neighborhood!). This neck of the woods has a shopping Arcade, a few Buddhist temples, a 5-story Pagota dedicated to Commedianes?!?, and is also home to a building that is ...

... they had. Therefore we true Americans we hit the Hard Rock for breakfast (never a good idea as they don't do breakfast or eggs for that matter as we still don't know what they were) and as it was 11:15 AM we thought it was close enough to noon to have some tailgate beers. We jumped on the JR (One of three subway systems in Tokyo) and headed to the Stadium. On arrival we were a little nervous as it looked like a huge line at front, but to our relief it was fans waiting for ...

... massager....Thus, I continued on. My tour guide suggested a nondescript building on a side street in order to visit a pair of stores called 'Battle' and 'Athlete' And so it was that I found the holy grail of fetishism. 3 levels in this building held 3 different themed DVD shops. Floor 7 dealt primarily with the run of the mill fetishism (if there is such a thing), Floor 6 with women wrestling, and ...
