Week 2 and 3

Sorry everybody or the few persons who drop buy here from time to time but i’m not really into blogging mood.

I’ve shot a few low-quality pictures with my jp-keitai the last few weeks… so i’ll post them instead of writing a bunch of nonsense.

I’ve done the following stuff and more:

  • Visited the aquarium in shinagawa
  • Ate a lot of japanese and non japanese food
  • Went clubbing 2 times at club atom
  • Drank in shibuya, roppongi, shinjuku and other places
  • Drank an Iced almond caramel latte @excelsior caffee almost everyday
  • Met a lot of cool people
  • Let cute girls and cool guys sign my backpack
  • Learned a lot of japanese
  • Watched the biggest firework of tokyo
  • Took the shinkansen
  • Went to Shizuoka
  • Watched the new ghibli movie called “Ponyo”, all in japanese
  • Played pachinko, Tekken and other arcade games
  • Played darts and pool in shibuya
  • Slept a few hours in a mac donalds
  • Created a new group on facebook called “Shibuya backstreet Boys” :)
  • :)

Enjoy!

Food, Party, Keitai and so on

Nice post title huh? :D

About the food: I love japanese food, there’s nothing i can do against it. Of course i don’t like everything but i found way too much kind of food i like here.
From today i will start a new food-serie. I’ll post everytime a photo of the restaurant from the outside and one or two pictures of the meal.

On the first picture it’s japanese curry with vegetables. Eaten at Curry House C&C next to the West Exit of Ikebukuro Station.
2nd picture: Kotsuteri (こつてり) ramen. Ate that 6.30am sunday morning. I have no idea about the name of the restaurant. It’s on the opposite side of the street from Bar Mania in Roppongi.

The last few days i was struggling getting a nihon keitai…
Softbank sells the best prepaid phones so far, that’s why i tried to get one of them. No luck for me and everyone else because softbank’s prepaid phones are sold out everywhere :(
Saturday i felt a bit down because i still wasn’t able to get a phone but neko never gives up and tried the store in omotesando. They have english speaking staff and all are very friendly.
Same story here “almost” :) : we’re sorry but it’s sold out, did he say to me. BUT you can get a prepaid usim-card and order the prepaid phone. We call you when your phone arrives at our store.

Oh and no need for an ARC ( Alien registration Card ) I showed them my passport, Confirmation Letter of the School and explained that i will extend my current “visa” from 90 days to 180 days.

If you would like to call me then please do so :) Here’s the number: +818033571275

I hope my keitai will arrive soon because with the prepaid usim-card i cannot send emails with my swiss phone, that’s the only bad thing…

and finally a few words about the parties:
Friday i wanted to go to Club Atom. Well i went there but couldn’t enter because i was wearing 3/4 pants…
Big turn-off. I took the train back to ikebukuro and stayed at the hotel drinking chu-hi. :D
Saturday i met with Yuki-chan in roppongi, Bar Mania.
bar-Mania is definitely my favorite bar in Roppongi. The Bar-staff and the boss are very cool and easy. The music is ok.
Yuki had to leave around 22:00h so i went to Club Flower. 1000Yen entrance fee with 2 drinks. I had already a nice party at club flower last year but this time it was boring. Only Hip-Hop and RnB at both floors… and 90% of the crowd: GUYS :(
So went back to Bar Mania and stayed the night there. Met a lot of nice people: Eddie Murphy (the real one i swear!), Watanabe-kun ( the japanese Silent Bob ), Chihiro ( sweet girl… i called her “aho” that means “stupid”. She had a funny looking strain of hair and i was thinking you call that “aho”… don’t ask me why.
Oh and there was Mister Rob! Polska Power :) It’s cool to meet someone who is also interested in photography. I think i could learn a lot from Rob, he has done some awesome photos.

Ok OVER and OUT.
More news soon.

Shibuya i’m coming!!! J-19 days

Posted by neko under J-Food, J-Girls

Yosh! I’m excited already about my 5 month trip to japan… but still 19 days to go until i leave cheese-land :)
As you can read in the post title i’m a big fan of shibuya. It’s my favorite place in tokyo so far.
I love the young shibuya crowd, all fashion victims but that’s fine with me. LOL
Shibuya is full of lively people, nice shops and clubs and the love hotel hill called “dogenzaka”. What do you want more? Oh i know! “Little Spoon” curry restaurant!

shibuya girls

If someone wants to try the best kare fast-food in shibuya (my own opinion) then go to “Little Spoon” or in japanese “リトルスプーン”. It’s located near the shibuya train station, just pass the crossing and walk like you would go to HMV.

When you see the HMV sign then look on the right side of the street and search for this:

Check out their website for all the menus they have. http://www.little-spoon.co.jp

More about Shibuya and it’s nice places soon :)

School Days LxH Visual Guidebook. I’m a big fan of School Days, the game and anime about a love triangle that turns, well, rather violent towards the end, which caused TV stations in Japan to bizarrely pre-empt the last episode of the show with images of a really Nice Boat. Here’s the “Love x Hate” artbook filled with beautiful new images from the show and game.
