Ueno + Jiyugaoka

Posted on Wednesday, December 10th, 2014 at 11:54 am.

We decided to squeeze in a little shopping at Ueno. I bought some new shoes which I had been eyeing off this whole trip but didn’t come in a large enough size for my not so quaint Japanese lady feet. I finally found them in men’s. After a day of shopping and showing James the […]

KID BOX

Posted on Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 at 2:25 pm.

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 […]

Namba, Osaka

Posted on Saturday, November 15th, 2014 at 11:32 pm.

For breakfast we had standing udon. It’s for real quick eating and usually at train stations so that people can move on and get to where they need to go. I’ve never eaten standing up like this haha so I guess it was an experience for me. It was so cheap yet so delicious! […]

Japan Tour – Tennoji

Posted on Friday, November 14th, 2014 at 1:01 am.

I arrived at 6:55pm the previous day to be met by my father. Straight away, I dragged him to the Tonkatsu restaurant on the top floor as I love, love, love tonkatsu. We then drove back to Kawasaki where he lives, hung out with him and his wife Kay and then fell asleep on the […]
