I'm going to respectfully disagree and go with under eye cover-up as the best with mascara coming in at a very close second.

Thought about getting a new hairdo here in Tokyo…
But, I just couldn’t decide if I wanted “a” dread or an aflo.

When I have to “go” I kinda just want to do that…
As if I didn’t have enough going on in the bathroom with the entire panel of toilet operation buttons; apparently I’m supposed to be deciding on what flavor ice cream I want for dessert too. Not to mention take photos of whatever weirdness I encounter.
Oh the pressure!!

Riding in Japanese cabs makes me miss my great grandma’s house.
Seriously though, they ALL have doily covers on the seats and the majority of the drivers are 65+, sit so close to the steering wheel they could kiss the windshield and wear little white gloves. As rule conscious and polite as they are here, I still insist we where our seatbelts at all times in these cabs.

In the land of cuteness, even at a men’s clothing store little kitties are used to lure in customers.
"meow, meow- come buy a suit!"

As strange as it may be to see plastic food outside restaurants everywhere I’m actually really grateful for the visual aids.
I now find myself wishing every restaurant had it so I could tell what they serve. Otherwise, I find myself leering at people's plates through windows trying to figure it out on my own. The plastic food makes me less creepy.

Oh how I heart the signage in Tokyo.
I love the two questions and the possible scenarios underneath. Which one do you want? Feed the birds and then have them drop giant, face-covering poop on children and make them cry OR have the bird go and find his own food and presumably not poop on children. The choice is yours.

Tokyo Weekend
Tokyo is a random place where random things happen with random people.
Really random.
So here’s a random recap of our weekend starting on Thursday night when Frenchie arrived…
No room at the inn- go to sister bar aka- teeny tiny and quiet library, beers in glasses so thin you thought you’d cut your lip with each sip, 12:30am dinner around a hot pot, the girls escape- the boys keep going-going- going, team works, cherry blossom, sweet potato, green tea and seaweed ice cream date with Frenchie and a too tan to fly in Japan flight attendant, wasabi fava beans and laughing cows in lounge, dinner around another hot pot- this one filled with the bounty of both the sea and land (sea-pig!!), Shibuya wandering, not-so-amusing Amusement Bar, more than one walk of shame out before ordering, GASPANIC, up in da club down in basement, dj in a wedding dress…
b-boy line dancing, my Wife’s Japanese boyfriend…
granny sweater guy…
beer, dancing, beer, dancing, tonight’s going to be a good night!!, beer, dancing, time to go, ditch Wife’s Japanese boyfriend, head to hotel, grab cameras, forget umbrella, line up for tuna auction, pouring down typhoon rain, boys don’t make it in time, trade can of Sapporo for half an umbrella, inside holding area for what seems like forever, insanely dangerous walk through typhoon rain trying not to get run over by mini fish cart thingies, finally inside again…
tuna, tuna, tuna…
yelling, bells, red paint, time to go, another dangerous walk through fish market, soaking wet, grab a cab, hotel just in time for breakfast, bread, bread, bread, bed, daylight fading when we awake, time to go, dinner around a Korean grill, happy Halloween, Flower, time to dance, no can do, head home, bed at somewhat decent hour of morning, breakfast, temple…
shopping, bad fortune, lunch with 2 ounces of water, 102 year old Nintendo DS addict, missed the drums, Japanese traditional music with a rock star attitude…
not-really-dancing Elvis’ in Yoyogi…
Harajuku girls...
crazy bike guy from last year, swimming through the sea of people on Takeshita Dori…
shopping, walking, shopping, so tired, hotel for nap, lounge, sushi roulette, bed.
There you have it. I may have missed a few things, but the important stuff is there even if you can’t really tell.
Random? Yes. Fun? Yes. Are we too old to try this again anytime soon? YES.
In total contrast of this past weekend we’ll be spending a night of reflection in a Buddhist temple on Saturday night. Seriously.

3 of the dozen or so Christmas trees they put up last week at our hotel...
Seems Christmas comes early in Japan. Not quite as early as in the Philippines where you can see decorations as early as September, but I'd say Halloween is still a bit premature for the holly jolly season.
