friezaessThis is way overdue >_< Oh well.
PICTURE POST!
The following are images of some of the slightly-less-than-normal things I encountered whilst in Japan. Sadly I did not get a shot of the love hotel with a children's playground out the front.
LOLI LEIK BEER!
Speaking of loli...
"WE'RE WATCHING YOU MASTURBATE. PLEASE CONTINUE."
Yes, the women-only train carriages do exist. It's just one big yuri scene waiting to happen.
Please keep dogs well inside your handbag at all times. I saw heaps of these... I wasn't sure whether I wanted to LOL or punch someone in the throat :/
A display outside a love hotel in Shibuya. Even the biggest prudes among you have to admit that hanging out in a huge hot tub and wearing sailor outfits would be awesome.
Now this is the Japan we all know and love.
So much cooler than Mickey Mouse ;_; In fact, he looks like he just raped Mickey Mouse whilst Minney filmed it.
Speaking of cool- neither you nor anyone you know will ever be more awesome than this guy right here.
... I humbly retract the above statement.
JAPAN
He had the biggest hair, making him their leader.
Oh for the love of... JUST LET THE SHOW DIE ALREADY! GET A NEW HOBBY OR BETTER YET A GIRLFRIEND.
And finally, I present to you a thing of beauty, something so magical that it will bring a tear to your eye. Your mind will be blown by the sheer radiance of this unique treasure.
Imagine for a moment that you're wandering through Shinjuku. This district is well known for its high-end shopping; Tiffany and Co. is nearby if you feel the need for a new $500, 000 watch, and elsewhere, if all your exploring has made you thirsty, you can sit down to a nice cold $20 beer.
One of the many tall buildings packed with shops looms across the street from you. Curiously, you enter. It's the normal stuff; extravagant jewelry with a price tag to match, chiq designer dresses that only come in a size 4 and beautiful people sipping expensive South American coffee. Indeed this place that reeks of delicate perfume and 10, 000 yen notes is a stirring monument to Capitalism.
And then, just as you're travelling up an escalator to the next layer of consumerist society... you see it.
And then, with an ever-growing sense of national pride, you begin to serenade passers-by with a haunting rendition of the "Neighbours" theme song until you are hauled away by a security guard and ordered to do some maintenece along the River Kwai.
Edit: For those of you who have not yet discovered the wonder that is Nimbin, go here.
