Japan 05 - I smell Temple!
Woah.. it’s a rush. So much happens so quickly and no time to sit. Here we go!
Important public notices are everywhere to be seen
Food: Ate at La Rochelle.
Restaurant of Iron Chef French: Hiroyuki Sakai
Anyway, 19,000yen of おいしい later, and this is what course 8 (the coffee course in private lounge) looked like.
Twas all awesome, im just lazy on food photos
Having said that
Mongolian shabu shabu!!!!
This was best best ++
More On food:
Sashimi right next to the fish market. And crab soup and Saki.
That fish with spike in it was still alive too, even tho the sashimi was already cut off it. It creeped me out a bit. and freaked me out when it jumped at me.
Ginza street art. Just a taste of the high fashion district. Behind this little just is a 10 story lui vuitton next to a dolce Giovanni next to some other spelling nightmare (thankyou google)
Oh and while we are in high brow mode, one cannot surpass the bling store.
This little piece costs about elevently-billion dollars. Spelling is a feature of todays lesson
And well… when in Tokyo
There was a LOT of pissing around to get this done. Including getting a taxi to somewhere further than flag-fall and then back because the first taxi driver refused to take us to the place as it was within 100m behind us. And we still couldn’t find it.
And this is Gonpachi. Place that inspired the restaurant in Kill Bill. This is not a single bit of Kill Bill paraphernalia in the whole place. That’s how cool it is.
OH yeah, sure i could have shown a singe photo of the daycore (how do you spell that?) instead of a bunch of randoms that means nothing much to you.
[insert thing about some Japanese president taking some American president here - here]
Shijuku - rock bar mother!.. oh yeah.
This was a night of going around and finding all the tiny bars. This one seats about 10. There are places that seat 5 and have no menu. But Rock bar mother is my favourite because they where blasting out Digital Bath by the Deftones. Metal love.
Autumn in Yoyoji park.
Just had to go back there for this.
And this a couple more typical sights to see here. I have never seen so much life in my life.
(yoyogi park photos: credits go to mark and cheryl, since i was dumb and only took my phone for photos... again)
There is even a great little dog park here (Photo redundant). Its totally fenced and the masses of dogs just go nuts… in there cute little coats and all. \
OH yeah, and I went on this hike and made some friends.
There are “international clubs” all over the place. This is basically like that little “international room” at uni that you always got pissed about because you were a local and couldn’t go in. Only anyone can go. Usually its foreigners, or half/half’s and people who want to practice their English.
And you order from the screen on the table and they just bring it to you.
Any this is on the Hike: playing “house of flying daggers”
Cheryl’s actually a work colleague. But a great friend now too.
This Hike was in Kamakura. Place of many temple, which I smelt, but never actually saw. Everyone who goes here sees the temples… and the giant budda’s. Some guys got lost and saw a budda. This paragraph should really be deleted. Pff. Nobody actually reads the text anyway.
AND … I almost forgot. This cant be complete without:
カラオケ！！(KARAOKE!)
In Japan, its lost in translation style will small groups in little private rooms, space age wall paper and wicked Engrish subtitles.
“'cause you're not wercome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd grumbled?
you think I'd ray down and die”
"ill bling your sexy back" (ok, i made that one up)
Till next time people
マタネ！
