edo warp station,ina city, ibaraki.

with a Jester to bring our orders..

he's the one who got our vote for the best halloween costume at FRIDAYS..well, not to many to choose from anyway,the other two were pumpkin and dracula.

took this photo weeks ago using my cellphone.now i can post bec. R. just lend me his IR port :) hehehe..to be sick and have friends ;) thanks!

they say that you have to have a good pair of shoes to bring you places.

hmmn. me thinks,if you have this kind of shoes, you can definitely fit in harajuko, tokyo (mecca of those who dare to be really "different")

read this in one of my reading materials:

"The problem with planning is that it has been overtaken by mathematical models-traffic, density, impact assessment, public costs etc. discarding common sense and empirical observation. When the job seems too difficult, the tool is probably wrong." - Andres, Duany, American architect, developer of Urban Transect Theory

==hmmn..i think i have to show this to my sensei.:)

note:view from the top of Ropponggi Hills

yup, there's a spider, an alien and then this bear...

an artwork by Takeshi Murakami found in Roppongi's garden.

this has been a Roppongi week for me.

my labmate and i went to see the parade and on our way to meeting my friends to watch the Matsuri festival, he introduced me with this drink.
he told me that his grandfather love this drink with a little glass ball (parang "holen" or clear marble ball) at the neck of the bottle.
the next day, i tried to introduce it to my friends. cant find it na..
anyway, so am posting it here na lng :)

ps.it taste like sprite.

my first time to see a real wasabi root for sale other than what you use for sushi.

and my friend told me there's a wasabi icecream. go figure.
