Back to Tokyo - Land of the Civilized

upon my second trip to tokyo, i fell even more in love with the city. it is difficult getting around without the language but i still managed to love it regardless. it was cherry blossom season and i have never seen a more beautiful sight before.

as you can tell, gorgeous. it was warm and sunny and people are so excited for the cherry blossoms. they come only once a year and for a very short time. there are parties in the parks and everyone is taking pictures from locals to tourists alike. it smelled just delicious as well. it was great luck that i was there during this time and i feel very fortunate as people try to plan it and it just was a lovely coincidence for me!
i had fun also because my mate, gregg, was there as well on holiday. and it is always better traveling with someone versus on your own. we had a couple of nice nights out. and i stayed with a journalist mate of mine as well in his flat over the weekend. it is so much easier being with someone who speaks japanese! one night i took a new client out for dinner and drinks to say thank you for his help and have a bit of fun. we ended up beyond drunk and at some lame "show" where the girls put on this pathetic excuse for a pussycat doll type show. was horrific but we were so drunk it was funny. needless to say, i paid for it a bit the next day.

so i am back to hong kong with people being rude and shoving you. tokyo almost seems like so long ago...

xoxo,
