shutitdown: livin' for the anecdote

<< shutitdown: taking one for the anecdote

nippon

Tokyo was awesome:

plastic food everywhere
hordes of people sleeping in nightclubs so they could wake up and rave more
sushi in 7-11
insane photoboothes everywhere
ramen
the ramen museum
green tea flavored everything
drunken men screaming in the subway "speak english with me!"
6am trips to the fish market
holding a note and remembering that astounded feeling when I was a kid and heard that something was worth 10,000 yen
girls in nightclubs asking, while discofingering, "this is how you dance in Ireland?"
getting lost in a since metro station for over an hour
plastic food

About time you visit the country, Linda!
In Shizuoka, Tokyo people complain we are completely irresponsible with our farniente ways!
Cheers,

Hi Lina,
Did you enjoy Tokyo? Did you get to a Japanese Bath? I was in Tokyo for only a few days. I remember the Fuji apples and the adorable toddlers. I thought the plastic food was adorable also. What my companions and I couldn't get used to was the way everybody giggled. We didn't know that was a cultural mannerism. Good luck to you.
