She can Walk on me all Day long

Today i have no Photos to share, as the day started with a kabuki show about a governor who was attacking someone else in the shogun house and then all his process unlit he ceremony kill hm self (well that is the jitz of it), interesting and nice but we only saw 1 act.

then my brother and I headed to the Eemperor / Royal Temple which you cannot go in but only walk around it, and as t was raining the whole day i kind of got upset and headed back to the hotel.

then…. i went to the 2 floor Spa on the top floors of ROX shopping center next to our hotel and introduced my litle brother to the joys of a proper spa with several pools, baths, relaxation area and of course MASSAGE, the amazing thing is that you can see most of the city from sitting in the outdoor warm pool.

My brother endured the Thai massage (the formal one not the dirty one) where someone is stretching and bending every part of your body, while my choice was the Taiwanese option with warm covers and a beautiful tightlady who walk over you. I`m sure my mum would correct me which one is which, as a certified Masseur, all i can say is man this was great, she poked me with her iron fingers and walked all over me releasing any toxins  had in my muscles and finished with a great head massage.

so all and all a very balanced day started grey and raining and ended up with relaxation and proper chill out.

tomorrow we leave Tokyo and heading to the country side.

Beautiful girls and 3 weddings

After a morning trip in the Gardens, we took a train to the Tokyo “camden” area called Harajuko,and i must say, this is where all the beautiful girl go and do their shopping so my camera was working over time, and you can see ome of the modest results here.

 

 

Then while looking for lunch i ended up in a place that was full of young Japanese girl having a break from doing their shopping, where i managed to be introduced to 2 girly dishes:

The princess pearl which is some kind of  a cold milk tea with a flavor (i had to try the coconut and the chocolate) with jelly balls (like gummy bears), and a wide straw so i can “suck those balls” (this is the most gay phrase i ever heard a girl telling me to do).

 

The “ice ring” ice cream, which a was a kind of frozen yogurt mix by hand on a very cold plate (-30C) with all kind of good things like areos, chocolate, pineapple etc. 

 

 

later we went to the shrine where we managed to see 3 weddings taking place the traditional ritual outfits and the whole parade, very interesting to see it all.

Kryptocronic Green Tea

Today some group members decided to goto the fish market, now as much as i appreciate the size of it i`m happy knowing our London billingsgate market and also i prefer to sleep at 4 AM then wake up to smell and see the fishes.

Anyway for the rest of us how woke up in a normal time together the morning trip survivors, there was a nice trip on the boat, where a cute japanesse lady was explaining everyting about the 10 so bridges we crosses and the buildings we passed, our guide (god bless) was expalning some of it in English, but i was busy eating y late breakfast and playing with my camera filters to preapre for the day.

we arrived  to Hama-rikyu Gardens where you can see lots of trees among them the 300 years old pine tree, but more important for me it was the tea house inside where you get a spacial foamed Green tea in the traditional manner, with a side pastry.

i can only say that that tea has a Strong green glow, like its made out of kryptonite, taste was OK, but not my cup of tea (see what i just did ). the trip was really great and then we headed towards harajuko.. see the next post.

getting started as a blogger

until last week i never thought i might need a public blog, as I’m not the one who will try to publish things publicly for free and because of my dyslexia i would prefer a visual tool than a text based knowledge sharing tool. 

But as i was trying to talk to one of our consultants on the benefits of social tools in an organisation environment , i was ask “so why don’t you have a Blog”? 

this made me think …for a while i was posting my opinions and thought in many different forums, i was talking about blogs, web 2.0, face book etc. but the only thing i really used that can be called a blog was a kind of journal based on Share point blog tool in our internal Accenture Platform and as it wasn’t updated when i didn’t work on projects you can guess it wasn’t one of the most popular blogs.

so i decided that i will open a public blog and will try to drop some of my reflections and eureka moments as i go.

i hope you will find it interesting enough to follow and comment.
