Tokyo posh!
From Japan on April 20, 2009I am living in Area of Tokyo called Minami Azabu. It is pretty posh area near Roppongi. Another posh area. My good friend who is living here said that this area is packed with foreigners and he was right. I feel very international here. I have found already many embassies:Lithuanian, Finnish, German, Korean etc. And lots of cute coffee shops, restaurants and shops. I like this neighbourhood. It is good mostly for rich people, but I could find cheapest places to eat and have fun as well.
I am walking around Tokyo on foot. It may looks strange, but this is actually fun. Weather is very good most of time and I can discover new places and things every day.
Firts of all, I am completely crazy about food. Here in Tokyo I can try not only dishes from all Japan, but also international cuisine in best edition. Japanese have tendency to improve recepies and that is why all seems tste much better than original.
For eample hamburger. Normally I never eat this, especially not in McDonalds or Burger King, because it is junk food, full of fat and not tasty. But here I love fast food chain restaurant Mos Burger. I think it is purly Japanese brand and their sandwitches are smaller than these from Mc Donalds. Smaller, but so tasty! I do like eat there.
But, I am in Japan so I should not eat hamburgers, but try new things, new great Japanese dishes. I had a chance already. My friends showed me many places with fantastic and cheap sushi, tempura and yakiniku. Amazing good. Japanese are crazy about good food. same like about stay slim. This is funny contradiction, but truth is they are slim, even if love food.
I have feeling they are great hedonists in general. They love all what is beautiful, glamurous,fashionable, tasty, cute, funny and amazing. Japanese girls looks like dolls. Thay have lovely skin, sense of fashion and are not afraid to wear very eccentric clothes. Actually they have very specific style, girly and sweet. Completely different than mine. They really look sweet and lovely.
And I must confess that in contrast with them, white people look somehow ugly and too big. Maybe it is just my impression, but I have feeling I am tall and big like Gojilla. I am taller than my friend, and he is guy. I am sure he must feel a bit uncomfortable. But what can I do, poor Northeuropean? I am tall because it is such design...
Anyway. I have lots of fun and many new experiences. I like to be here in Tokyo.
