Azusa and Nomihoudai

Almost sleep walking, I got out of bed to go to Yebisu Garden Place, home of the famous scene in Hana Yori Dango (a Japanese drama)!!! I admit, I was a teensy bit excited, denoted by excessive use of excamation marks.


Yebisu Garden Place

So, what exactly is this place? It's a complex of shops, department stores, restaurants and all things trendy. And where is the obligatory HanaDan shot?

Ta-Da! Actually had to wait to take pics, because there was this weird model guy posing...

And then, we went for okonomiyaki, a sort of Japanese pizza type thing.

Mm... okonomiyaki at this high-class place, called Chibo. Well, not high class, but high up, on the 38th floor of the Yebisu Tower



And then, that night, I met my friend Azusa, who had come from Nagoya to play tennis in a tournament. We met up at Shibuya for dinner at Venturo Tokyo, an Italian restaurant. Where I had a glass of Rosemount Semilion Chardonnay. So hisashiburi!


Azusa and me

Azusa is very cool, she works at Meiji Seika, a very big food company in Japan. And she brought me some as-yet-unreleased products!!!

Meiji Selected Milk Chocolate, some weird Halloween Chocolate eggs, and apple flavoured gummy lollies. They say sample on the back! I'm connected, man.

Azusa wanted to meet some of my friends, so we all went to nomihoudai with the boys, who wanted to go clubbing. And then we played 'Have you ever...' - a true insight into these as-yet-unfamiliar boys' sexual habits. Eww! '

Azusa's reaction to the crazy boys. Yvonne looking very Japanese.

Also found out a bit more about Japanese habits, too. And a few choice words describing said haibts. Teehee.

Oh, and a final treat...

Rob kissing Ben, in a game of Truth or Dare.
