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.
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.



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.
Right so my little Bro and the couple we have met today are going together to Akihabara the main area where you find 2 things Electronics and cost-play shops. as my luck with laptos was not brilent and as the Pound is at all times level low , all the nice laptops i saw are NOT cheap to buy in Japan any more. so to chear me up we are al going to find a costplay restaurant or coffee place. After about 1/2 hour of negotiating how to read my brothers map, where is north and some Japanese dudes who tried to help, we end up in a place called “Mai Dramin” (yeah that is how its called no spelling mistakes this time).
Well the place looks like the time i took my little sister to a 4 year`s old tea party, all is Pink, Red and whte, the chairs are at my knee height and the dressed up maid are not taller then that as well
.
Para-Para and anime music is playing , and they are all bursting with energy, so no matter how cynical I am can not be not happy there. the food is all about cutieness and charm, like any rice dish is painted with a cat r a bunny ketchup (amazing), every time a drink or a dish comes over we have to do some kind of a cute magic dance or other hand movments.
This place as a uniqe experience shame i couldn`t take any photos, All i can say is I needed a beer can once we where out just to restore my manhood after an hour and half in all pink and cutie place like that.
After eating and relaxing a bit , my brother and I are heading to the Tokyo Anime Exhibition – apparently the biggest and impotent one. me i do not care much about some cartoons but for my brother and some other people i know this is more then just a hobby this is a whole occupation with gatherings, collections etc.
but i must say after the first 10 minutes i feel in love, not with the cartoons or miniatures but with the models who dress up like those cartoon heros, oh my god they are small little packages of sexiness and cuteness.
as i love my brother, i let him stand next to them (as mentioned in other it would not look good if i will model with them), and happily took their photos while they pose to the camera.
My Little brother is joining the Army next year , so i decided to treat him and me in a pre army trip.
As he is all into Japanese anima and culture Japan was decided as the Target location, and Tokyo is the first place to spend our time. i know now why i`m “Big in Japan” as most of the people on this chain of islands barely reach my nipples
and the real young ones are at my knee height, but they are all lovely and beautiful.
so for the next few post you will be able to follow our trip in Japan.
