My birthday

Saturday was my birthday so to celebrate I was going to let some Dr Fish nibble at my toes, but when we arrived at the place, the place wasn't actually there... we were informed by a crazy drunk Korean man that it had closed down because it is 'bad for you health'. So instead we went into a game bang (game room). These are places where you pay by the hour to play computer games, the one we found was for playing Wii, so we payed for 2 hours in 2 rooms and played as much as we could! Included in the price was as much toast, ice cream, drinks, popcorn and cookies as you wanted, so we duly stuffed our faces until we felt sick. Gotta get your moneys worth! In the evening we went out on the town, starting in Mama Gorillaz where they serve cocktails by the bucket.. and then off to a couple of different clubs for live music and dancing. Here is the photographic evidence;

Valentines Day

I'm not actually a valentines hater, seeing as my birthday is 2 days before that's more important anyway. I just thought these pictures were funny!








Tokyo

After returning back to Korea to work for 2 days (!) I was off again, this time to Tokyo where I met back up with Kev. We only really had 2 full days there so we tried to cram in as much as we could.

Tokyo Tower


View of the city


Sumo town. There was a big tournament on the weekend after our visit so there were a lot of sumo walking around and television crews everywhere.


The Imperial Palace


and again


Also managed to drag Kev to a photography exhibition


in return for checking out the beer museum near by


Sushi, the local delicacy


Harajuku (in honour of Gwen Stefani) the museum place was closed though so this ended up just being a place to wander around, some parts really reminded me of Camden Lock.




Yutaka met us one night and took us for food and drinks around the Asakusa area


Where we sampled some traditional japanese culture (the arcade!)
