Races.

Firemen, Trifectas, and sparkling wine. Oh, and awesome company. Oh and horses sweat.

Anna Selezneva by Anthony Maule for Vogue Russia Sept 2011

Part Deux. Come to Kamakura. Oh, and swing by Yokohama while you're at it. Ok.

Ok, GO. Hydrangeas season in Tok-ey-yo. They line the streets. 

We ate all the way to the big buddha. This is octopus pancake. Its been flattened to a sheet of paper and we ates it. All of it. DELICIOUS.

Why what big nose you have buddha. We didnt climb inside, but had heard you could.

Made a wish for the Tohoku fighters, new Tokyo friends, friends back home, and the fams, just like how the locals did.

Then we ate some more. I EAT YOU red bean buddha. You were DELICIOUS.

CY enjoying the mist resting huts. Hey there pretty lady! You make it look like its magic mist.

The Hydrangeas that lined the temple. There was a 70minute wait to walk around the garden. 

Green tea and Hydrangeas ice-cream. I know right!  We see you. We eat you. FATTY!

We witnessed a beautiful wedding and caught the train and headed back to Yokohama.

we visited beautiful temples and shrines and made wishes for those we love.

we hit up the town of the chinamen and had some delish food. Found a mofo shark fin and knew, for sure, we were in chinamentown.

We headed towards minato-mirai and found really cool elderly with fishbowl earrings. 

Unfortunately the rollercoasters were rained out. This made me cry inside. a lot. 

but we went in the fastest lift. Yep thats right. 

enjoyed beers at the top with 0 visibility. No joke. Thats what the lift lady told us, but we were thirsty and needed to sit down. Lap it up, its beer time.

EAT UP! 

Loves you Japan.

Except, paper and books were 2000 and late.

It has also been cold. Miserable cold.

Hello. I kiss your eye and lick your nose because I think you're cute.

[borrowed this picture from CCH]

This is Max*

He lives in Tokyo. He is super cute.

We get to meet him again on the weekend. We might even go for a stroll in Harajuku.

Jealous? Good. Tough tiddles.

* Names have been changed to save the world. Save the cheerleader.

There is big post coming. I have my lazy pants on. Maybe my mu-mu, because imma getting fat. It's also very warm here. So warm that I often get asked by the locals if their eyebrows have melted offa their face. Period.

Part Uno. Behind the scenes of Tohoku.

ok. so limited time means imma send you a big fat post. Big and fat like my head. Ok maybe a few big fat posts.

Amongst the devastation, I had worked with the best team which gave me so much love it was amazement. They all had beautiful loving souls and we became a big family.

We made wearing our gear glamourous. Using NASA dry shampoo glamourous. Eating ramen was a blessing (Richard's initiation into Chicken Rush). The combini was a haven. Things got ghetto.

I learnt alot. Thankyou Richard for tips on tricks with the squat toilets. I will never overcome my fear of falling in and getting sucked into the tank.

Then things got crazy and party peoples were jumpin jumpin'.

 

Ted (aka Pochahontas' papa) decided to carry the fatty. 

"J, you look like a girl. J, you talk like a girl and you act like a girl. But you're heavy like a boy"

Sorry fatty broke your back Ted. 

 Within the devastation and the neighbouring love hotels. We also found this amazing river. This river broke the tsunami. 

Thanks for the dinner at night, and the radio taiso sessions in the morns. Thankyou Richard for the early morning entertainment. 

The crew before we headed back on our long journey home. 

All scrubbed up and beautiful at Hacienda del Cielo - Daikanyama. Miss you all already. 

I am so lucky to have met you all. You are all beautiful good lookin
people.

Thanks for the amazing memories while doing something so great for the
Tohoku community.

Thanks Richard for amusing me with your amazing Radio Taiso moves, showing
me tips and tricks for using the bathrooms, and being so down to earth and
fun despite being a Partner.

Thanks Hikaru for showing Becky and I how to walk like ladies, your good
looking tu-pac gangster head gear, and amazing us all with your
flexibility. Thankyou for being so prepared and transforming our dirty
locks into lusciousc NASA hair-dos.

Thanks Hiromi for letting us use your hot water stove so we can warm our
calorie mate filled bellies with some sweet action ramen. Richard will
forever be grateful for his initiation into BIG CUP chicken rush. Thanks
for being so kind and caring. Continue on with your chi gong and tai-chi
championships! I felt it last night when you had your hand on my back.

Thankyou mama-cita, for being the most loving person I have ever met. Your
patience outstands me, especially when Hakuna-matata/hatakayama kept on
asking you where to put all the junk he picked out of the apartment. Thanks
for being so beautiful.

Thanks Ben-power for pushing yourself so hard and helping out the girls, we
knew you were super tired but you kept on going. Thankyou for your crazy
laugh and your cleaning skills still amaze me. Like Becky says, with a man
who cleans like you, your lady love will be very grateful.

Thankyou Rima for being so hilarious and lauging at my jokes, and making
the rest of us laugh when you were lauging at Ben who was laughing with
you.  Thanks for always checking up on the team. I will always remember
that cup ramen we shared together. It was definately a moment we had.

Thanks Ann for being my bus buddy, and my early stroll combini buddy.
Thanks for being so adorable and charming all the men with your cute
nihongo voice.

Thanks Will for your awesome fearsome leader skills, thanks for battling me
with my smartarse antics  - despite your stinkeye, I know, deep down
inside, you really think I:m cool and want to be my best friend. It;s ok.
Ps your beatboxing is pretty swell. Keep it up.

Thanks Becky for organising the tohoku trip and your hilarious subtle
lines. You always lightened up the room! Stay rad.

Most of all thankyou to all of you for being you and thanks for letting me
be part of such an amazing team.

Thanks for having me.

Tohoku ten represent! YEAAHH!

OZ-CURRY-SUMMER-DESU!
