September 10, 1999

This was my third day in Tokyo but I still feel exotic. I can't believe I grew up here. And it's difficult to admit that certain part of me was cultivated in this disorder.

Today: Kojimachi (my place) -> Otemachi -> Harajyuku -> Shinjyuku -> Yotsuya -> Nishi-Azabu

Kojimachi Station

Tokyo is also a huge underground city. This corridor is more than 6 miles long.

Mr.Sato of Sankei Shinbun, the Japan's leading nationwide news paper.
'Kiosk' in the subway station. You can even buy your underwear there.
Otemachi Station
Harajyuku is the district like SOHO. Like it, many suburbanite come in the weekend, but many are kids.
Street in Hrajyuku
Japanese style confectionery / tea room. You can have sweetened beans over Jell-O.
Stupid kids play on the street. They make me sick!
They too!
Shinjyuku Station.
People, people, people...
Population density is high in Asia.
Shinjyuku. Times Square like chaotic place for shopping and so called 'fun.'
There are many camera, computer, electric shops in town. Inside of shops are chaotic.
What is 'the Great Faces Exhibition'?
Saci Perere, Brazilian restaurant and music place. They charged me fuXXing $18 for bad music. The food was bad. I will never go. But the guest Japanese seem having fun. 80% guests there were dancing like crazy.
Mr. Fujii of G's Corporation. My new colleague. He is a swimmer too.
Entrance of Saci Perere. It looks like porn shop in New York.
Bar Spice in Nishi-Azabu. My bartender friend there quitted the job two years ago. Pity. You can see the traffic on the Metropolitan Highway. It's nice. It's only reason to go.
Flyers of Escort Service. You can find them in the pay phone booth.
Vending machine of 'Energy drinks.' This is how the Japanese dope.
Aoyama Book Center (ABC) book store in Roppongi. They open till 4 am. I like it.
The Japanese plays music in the video arcade! They play video games to show their talent.
And the DJs too.
