Went to Nagoya for the weekend... ugly ass city. I like it!

Then went to visit Yuki at her family's house out in the countryside. Spent the rest of the weekend eating and drinking. Thats it. Managed to get a few pictures in between.

Food

Food and more food.

Yuki's Mom just sat in the kitchen the whole time just chefing us up food for like hours straight. Awesome

Bunch of people came over. Could I look more out of place in this picture?

Fisheye fun

Yukis pops came back jolly and plastered. Had me crackin up the whole time.

Doll festival

The house was like a big long ass hallway with rooms on both sides, looked like a hotel.

Brakfast!

Beaches!

Went at and kicked back at this over priced but lovely ass cafe on a mountain. Good times.

Feelin that architecture

Oh went I went back to the station their were massive amounts of cops running all over the place with shields and beating sticks. I thought it was a riot or something but apparently some crazy old dude was runnin around with a knife. They caught him, and I managed to get a few pics of them puttin him in the car. Its pretty hard to make out though.

Over all im feelin that Japanese country hospitality. Totallly different than Tokyo. Definately need some more of that...

HAL 3000

Then the randumbness ensued on the streets of Shibuya when we left in the morning

This sketchy dude tried to shake my hand after pissing in a corner. Wasn't havin it, then he struck this pose.

We ended up messing around on HAL's wierd ass bike for like an hour............And I fell on my face

Next day was more laid back. That nigga jetlag was in the building.

Last night out. Eating yakiniku, and apparently HAL's hair

Importing the finer points of american culture for the betterment of society

Party time!!

Arab Happy Slaps

2008-02-26T18:38:00.000-08:00

Through some news article I read, I recently got turned on to the magical world of happy slaps. Apparently its all the rage in the U.K. Random people lapping random people for no reason. Its pretty fucked up actually. But forget about that, in the middle east they took it to a whole new level.
This is so fucked up you can't not laugh

Now back to the U.K. , this is what happens when you happy slap a boxer. Not a good idea...

Japanese Spiderman!

2008-02-25T22:09:00.000-08:00

Keitai camera magic part II !

2008-01-25T04:18:00.000-08:00

I dug deep in the vaults of my oversized Japanese celphone to bring you these random golden nuggets of doo doo...

So yeah,this happens here... alot

Pole dancers! its hard to tell but there's another one at the top glued to the ceiling

You can never have too many T.V.s in your car

Weeeeeeeeed!

Ever see an old man bathing in an oil drum hot tub in the middle of a park at 5am??? now you have!

This is a long story, let's just say, ive got some damaging video footage of this girl...

Yes, not even Japan is safe from Borat, if you buy the DVD it comes in a special box with a neon green Borat mankini!!

New York Hardcore, Big in Japan.

What the fuggisyouwearin?

2008-01-17T18:38:00.000-08:00

Im bored, got no photos to post so instead, today Im gonna talk about......

This kind if shit.
Mmmmmm, reverse panda clown face, so sexy
Actually these kind of girls have a name
they're called GANGURO
I geuss there used to be alot more of them back in the day, but they're still around, and still creepy.

Yeah, it's not just girls, they got their guy counterparts too!

Less makeup but just as creepy. Actually, way more creepy.

Okay, so..... that's pretty disturbing

Okay, so you got the GANGURO, now it's on to the slightly more normal style we call the GYARU, I guess thats japanese for "Gal" So yeah, these GYARU, actually.....not creepy at all!! Acually, if you go to Shibuya, Tokyo on any given night, probably 90 percent of the girls dress like this. Fake tans, big hair, short skirts, kind of like japanese guidos.

And of course they have their male counterparts too! They're called GYARO, or the real japanese guidos. These guys probably spend more time on their hair and make up than the girls do

See a resemblance?

Okay so then you go to a quiet little place called Harajuku, and you find a whole new class of what the fuckedness. I dont even think they have names for most of these styles.

um...okaaaay. Then you walk down the street to Yoyogi Park and you got the local rockabilly gang dancing away to "footlose", go figure.

Alright, thats it for today. Hope you learned alot. ill be back with part 2 sometime soon
