Ginza & Tsukiji

Posted on Tuesday, November 25th, 2014 at 2:04 pm.

Today we started our day off quite late to have a rest in the morning. I guess you could say we had sushi for brunch as that was the first place we went to. Oh gosh it was delicious, I haven’t had chuu toro in my stomach for 4 years and gosh do I miss […]

Harajuku, Omotesando, Shibuya

Posted on Monday, November 24th, 2014 at 12:45 am.

Today was a public holiday so wherever we decided to go.. it was going to be hectic. Harajuku and Omotesando was so busy! I’m guessing all the countryside people came in to Tokyo for the long weekend to do some shopping. We first headed to Takeshita Street.. and feasted our eyes on the interesting alter […]

Ikuta Park, Kawasaki

Today we went to Ikuta Park in Kawasaki. It’s a huge park surrounded by small woods of oak located in Tama Hills. As well as being a great place for a picnic there’s a Planetarium, Observatory, Art Gallery and a Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum. After going for a brief walk around the place and […]

KID BOX

Because my goldfish father forgot my camera.. I only had my phone to take photos with so they could be a bit meh. But they have always been meh anyway so it’s no excuse. For James’ first day we decided he needed a coat to wear in the cold winter winds. He never wears a […]

Mission’s Round Two

Posted on Friday, November 21st, 2014 at 2:06 pm.

I wasted a whole day trying to find a damn coin laundry. I had googled that there was one in the suburb next to me – and it didn’t seem that far but once I entered the winding pathways of the concrete Daikanyama jungle.. well I was screwed. I wasted 3 hours walking around.. passing […]

Soul Kitchen

Posted on Thursday, November 20th, 2014 at 12:57 am.

I headed out to Shimokitazawa – an area that’s quite well known amongst youths for second hand shops, record stores and other little hole in the walls such as cafes. I took the Yamanote Line to Shinjuku Station then transferred to Odakyu Line where it stopped at Shimokitazawa – but probably don’t do that. Best […]

Tsukiji Mugenryu

Posted on Wednesday, November 19th, 2014 at 12:56 am.

I went to the 100 yen store and bought some goodies, then to the pharmacy to get some stuff for mum. Japanese pharmacies sell everything. Then I met my dad at St Marc Cafe – my new hub. I pretty much have eaten this chocolate croissant everyday since I’ve been here – it’s so bad […]

J-Wave Radio & What the Dickens!

Posted on Tuesday, November 18th, 2014 at 3:02 am.

Thanks to a great long time fan and friend of my music. I got to visit the J-Wave Radio station 81.3FM the biggest in Tokyo.. streaming to over 1 million people at any one time. It was a huge radio station.. with some cool artefacts too. Like a signed surfboard by The Beach Boys. Disco […]

Mission’s, Koenji

Posted on Monday, November 17th, 2014 at 2:49 am.

Today was a simple day.. I walked for a very short period around Daikanyama, next to Ebisu where I am staying. I just wanted a rest day so I took it easy and set up my apartment ready for the next 2 weeks. I got to Mission’s at Koenji for sound check to find that… […]

Final Day in Osaka

Posted on Sunday, November 16th, 2014 at 12:34 am.

The hotel we stayed at was so nice. It was the biggest hotel room I’ve seen for Japan. I got a suite that had a huge bath tub and bathroom, luggage wardrobe and a huge king sized bed. I enjoyed a face mask and bubble bath courtesy of the hotel too. Haha I really relaxed […]
