saw thai hooker today (inside joke)… god she looks much better than i remember her. mind you, i’m a bit tipsy… started my drinking early in the morning……
woke up buy the local cleaning lady… as i was staying in a dormatory for the first night…. she woke me up to remind me… i have to to CHECK OUT first… then check BACK IN…. at 10 am. i’m sooo sleepy… but i managed to get myself out of bed… go downstairs… check into a private room… go to gym/running… then head out to take photos. got a good bunch of the local IKEBUKURO area.
this area is a bit like a residential… hustle bustle area. mainly japanese.. but convenient for shopping and various districts. also a lot of adult entertainment.
i got hit on by a 60 year old man… while jogging… he followed me for 20 min. on a bicycle… i ignored him just as well… but he finally asked if he could take my picture. i said “not now, its too early and you don’t get my good side… ” he laughed and finally strolled off….
in Yokohama…. took pictures of an indie band putting on a small show…
feel that japanese are becoming careless in their fashion… basicaly… i’m seeing that … like americans.. japanese are getting more and more into wearing what’s “comfortable….” more than what looks good on them. instead of dieting and exercise… they prefer to get chubby and wear more comfortable clothes… the bigger the waistline… the baggier the clothes.
i’m not surprised… as they have been rich as a country… economically… it was only a matter of time before their bloated wallets led to bloated tummies…. just… sad… to see this culture degrade. we’ll see over the next few weeks….
