A few of my best photos from japan 2008

Posted by neko under Photography, Sightseeing

Hello~

I’m finally posting something new… after a long long time. Blogging is, well, kind of boring.
I decided to blog only if i feel like doing it and not trying to force my self to do it.

Today, is one of those day where i feel like blogging a little bit :)

Here are a few of my best photos taken during my 5 months in japan. It’s not in high-res, sort of a little preview.

If you want the full-res photos, please let me know and i will write a follow-up post with all my 1920*1280 photos.

Jya ne~

  • 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

Tokyo Super Sentos

Posted by neko under J-Food, J-Health, Sightseeing

Did you ever heard about super sentos? No?
You’re not alone, since last week i didn’t know what a “super sento” is.
To me it sounded like a superhero or a sex-position that even makes looking kamasutra lame… :) :)

Chigau~ A super sento is a über-dimensional public-bath/spa facility.

The nice thing is that you don’t need to drive far away to the country-side or sub-urbs to enjoy hot springs, no, there are in the middle of tokyo!

Let’s take a look at the biggest super sentos in tokyo:

Ceatec, Hana no mae, Karaoke and Pink Party

Yes! this is what i did on the 6th with my friends.

Our crew for this wonderful day:
Niko (of course)
Yusuke
Sayaka
Ashpi
and another friend of yusuke (gomen ne, i don’t remember his name)

So our day started with Ceatec @Makuhari-Messe. 45min train ride away from Ueno station :)
Ceatec was nice, nothing special but nice. We got a lot of both babe photos. Muahahaha.
Ceatec was divided into 3 Halls. The first was all about Screens, Tv’s and some Mobile phones.
2nd hall only mobile phone stuff, hard and software. Finally the 3rd hall as about micro-chips, semi-conductors and stuff like that, pretty boring.

Ceatec over, we move back to tokyo city -> Shinjuku for some sightseeing. Sayaka, our tokyo expert, brought us along to the Tokyo Government building where we were able to go to the 45th floor for some nice city viewing by night. The view from there was wonderful.

Suddenly we got hungry, after walking around for a while we decided to go to an izakaya, with a private room. That was a fantastic idea! :D You can enjoy dinner and drinking with your friends without beeing bothered by other customers. The izakaya we went to is called “Hana no mae” -> Dancing flower. Prices are ok and you can order a lot of different food so there is something for everyone. I ate whale for the first time!!!!!!!!! oishi neeeeeeeeee.

About 3 hours later, we decided to go to a karaoke :) :) We sang stuff like “Thunderstruck”, “DJ Ozma”, “Koda Kumi - Cutie Honey”, ” Dragonball Theme song” and so on, pretty funny. 1h flew away and it was time o move over to Azabu Juban for “Pinku party” :)

For more infos about the pink party held at club “Warehouse” go to Cyberjapan.
The pictures of those events will come soon, the prob is my notebook is slow and it takes a lot of time to resize and upload them… maybe tomorrow i’ll have some more time left since we have no planned things so far.

Bye bye kyoto/osaka… gogo tokyo

Posted by neko under General, Sightseeing

Hisashiburi ne ^^
yeah yeah i know i don’t write enough about my crazy little trip with niko in the land of the rising sun… gomen ne

i’ll make it short, after we recovered on monday from that holy shit of an OMG weekend, we went sightseeing on tuesday.
Kyoto has a lot of temples and shrines everywhere. I was very surprised, all the things we visited were still in a near perfect shape. The japanese really do care about their cultural monuments.
A little list of what we visited in kyoto:

  • Kinkakuji (Golden temple)
  • Jishu-jinja shrine
  • Yasaka-jinja shrine
  • Yasaka pagoda
  • Kenninji temple
  • Higashi-Honganji temple
  • Imperial palace (but it was closed or we didn’t found the entrance) :)
  • Fushimiinaritaisya shrine ( red gates aligned along a path up to the Inari yama )

As you can see we visited a lot of stuff ^^ not only party and drinking… haha

Wednesday we went to Nara. A great little city, took us over an hour to get there from Inari because we went into a Local train and not an rapid or express train… :D
Nara is famous for it’s gigantesque Deer Park and YES it is beautiful.
Watch out for the deers LOL they are a bit aggressive when you feed them. It was funny watching school girls feeding the deers and ran away crying “taskette, taskette!” HAHAHAAH
Located in Nara park too are some pagodas, temples and shrines. We visited the most famous one “Todaiji Temple”. Very impressive, i’ve never seen a temple that big.

Awwww i’m getting tired of writing LOL…

On Thursday we went to osaka and some friends showed us around. Of course we went to the Osaka castle, then dotonbori and amerika-mura. I had a very nice impression of this city. Need to return to osaka. Kyoto is a totally different city, i don’t know what it is but Osaka has some little magic.

Yes i’m finished now, but not yet ready for posting the pictures… choto matte kudasai ne ;)

Oh and today we took the shinkansen “Hikari” to tokyo. Our trip in kyoto/osaka is now already over but i can’t complain, we are staying for 11 days now in tokyo :D :D :D

K, i’m off. Photos will follow a bit later.
