Sunroute Shinagawa Seaside

... We walked by one kid, and we only heard one word from his conversation with his friends. "Chicks" he said. Kat could not contain herself, she belted our "CHICKS!" and preceded to cackle about it for another five minutes, clearly within earshot. Perhaps this will be a lesson to him. Use stupid surfer talk, and get made fun of.

I think we're both a little depressed now that the day is winding down. We really enjoy each others company, and it's ...

... a small shire at the top of the island which is particularly gorgeous in the fog as it's very mystical looking. You have to watch out for the deer as they like to eat Japanese rail passes and are very good at sneaking up on unsuspecting tourists and rifling through their purses.... 5. People watching. There is some of the most interesting fashion in Japan, particularly in Tokyo / Harijuku. It was so much fun to spot crazy outfits (both men and women ...

... was 10 hours coming home from Italy in 2001. So, I've been awake for about 22 hours now thanks to Starbucks. On the flight to Toyko, I read about a dozen magazines, a book: The Tipping Point, watched Wall-E, ignored Pee Wee's Playhouse and sucked at video poker and blackjack on my personal Continental TV screen. So, why I'm going to Bangkok...My friend Mary, who I used to work with at my previous job, was supposed to spend two months here ...

... salmon roe, octopus, slice of omelette, and a large green leaf, all heaped over cold white rice. This is my first raw seafood breakfast in my life and is very good. I have to catch the airport train to Narita at 10am so I quickly catch a train back to Asakusa and by this time the trains are full of commuters. Japanese people seem to have a marvellous capacity to sleep on the train (nearly always with bowed heads), but to wake up when they reach their station - it really is ...

... mecca for all fans of DJ Nigo. Not to miss the multi label concept store Loveless which is an underneath cellar groove store containing ultra hip fashion labels, designer toys, limited edition books, edgy magazines and a coffee shop. Some European high end retailers are also at home in Aoyama like Paris L'Eclaireur and Milan boutique Corso Como 10. South of Omotesando starts the Shibuya district which is Tokyo's youth epicentre home to the tanned ...

... like 2-8-4-809 Shirokane. Why you ask? Well, many streets don't have names or did not have name until recently. Instead, the way they do it is this: Tokyo is broken up to 13 wards. Your ward is Shirokane. Shirokane is broken up into 10 "chomes" (cho-mays) which are like sub-wards. You are in the 8th chome. Each chome has, say, 14 blocks. You are on the 4th block. On that block, you are in number 809. To make it more complicated, the chomes are blocks are arranged within their ...

... Shibuya Station, you can't hop from one to the other. Shibuya Station itself is a large building that also houses an upscale department store and a slew of other shops and little restaurants. For some reason, the subway line ends on the third floor (this confused me greatly the first time we went) and the trains are closer to the ground. Outside, it's obvious that many, many buses stop there as well. Around the station, streets branch out, filled with all sorts of ...

The eve before today I explored Shinjuku - light city. That was probably the prettiest experience in Tokyo, but lo and behold, I have temporarily lost my memory card with those photos and vids! tbfixed So today: Met up with Mark from Oz finally, checked out the war museum - how fascinating it is to read such pro-Japan war detail descriptions, I wish I knew more to balance it out :| At night we checked out a few night places which I've forgotten, seeing as I'm writing this in ...

Training JAS how to do authoring. Interesting city. Our agent, Tanaka, had a scary habit of falling asleep while driving. On the metro, I was about to stand up to give my seat to a pregnant lady and Tanaka put a firm grip on my arm and held me down. It ...
