In which fun and sunstroke is had by all

A few days ago, I went with my mother and sister to Tokyo Disney. I find it strange that many people haven't heard of or do not know about Tokyo Disney. If you've not gotten the hint from my talks about the contents of UFO catchers and the like -- Disney is super-popular here. It is almost entirely due ( Read more... )

MAI BURAZAA ando MAI SISUTAH!

K, it's been a while since the last post. Sorry about that. My mother and sister have come to visit so it's been a bit hectic.

Alright, so Moti and I went to Comiket for the videogame-and-such day on Friday. Comiket is huge. I was totally unprepared. Moti has said "twice or three times the size of Otakon." I ( Read more... )

Elegant Gothic Lolitas

This weekend we went out drinking with the mangaka again. Poked around Shinjuku. We had various foodstuffs and drinks at The Dubliners (a famous Irish pub here) and some extremely girly cocktails. I saw my very first all-male brothel in kabuki-cho (the red light district ( Read more... )

Went to Pirates of the Carribean on Saturday in Shibuya where, after meeting at Hachiko as usual, we passed by two bums still passed out from the night before in the middle of one of the busiest plazas in Tokyo. Aww, look, it's the annoying, begging old-lady looking at them disdainfully. "Grr! I'm the only bum working THIS plaza beotches!" I ( Read more... )

This was posted in the genkan of our building today in both English and Japanese.

"We're going to Kyoto, we're going far too slowto, in day or night you knowto..."Kyoto smells like incense. It's amazing. You step out of the station and it just washes over you. A city of 1.4 million people should in no way smell so good. Chalk it up to the copious amount of temples I suppose. Our taxi driver took great relish in making us ( Read more... )

"Nu-i-de! Nu-i-de!"

We had a BBQ. The guest house where we are staying is run by a couple of young guys. In celebration of their second successful year running their several guest houses, they had a party for anyone who wanted to come. A whole bunch of people from the various houses showed up. I helped a bit with the BBQ. We started around ( Read more... )
