Offcourse Space Flavour is out of date.

space is far away....it takes years to get here!

That shop must be cool as! I am so keen to get to Japan, but it's so expensive. I guess it's a shorter and therefore cheaper flight from here, so I can save a bit of money that way.

Everybody GO TO JAPAN!

Seriously. I've been there 3 times for 5 weeks each. So that makes almost 4 months. And those 4 months where cool as hell man i'm telling yah.



Save money and go for at least 2 weeks. There is so much to do and see. But Japan is not something you should see , you have to experience it. Because ive been there for so long i feel i really experienced the real Japan and it's a experience i am so happy i could...experience. Hahaha.



No seriously...

I have some pics that i posted some months ago from Japanese people playing " Cos Play Zoku "

Basicly , every Sunday , on several places in Tokyo like Harajuku street , Meji Jingumae ,and Korukuen Amusement park all this kids our age put on their funky / amazing / weird / beatiful / funny costumes and come togheter to admire eachothers costumes and to be seen.



What i've heard from a Japanese girl was that it was an escape from reality. In Japan they really care about how good youre job is or youre education and therefor they work and learn their asses off ( hence the high suicide number in Japan ) and for them dressing up is a way of escaping.



I used to go there every Sunday , and after i would go to the Yoyogi Koen park next to it , where a lot of musicians would perform their songs and acts. That was so awesome! And the cheerleaders would practice their cheers. And their was always one place where all the "rasta's " would come togheter and play bongo's and all that stuff. Thats where i was most...i was there almost every Sunday and i started to know those peoples faces and they started to know mine. In the end , there was always somebody willing to lend me his drums so i could play along. Nothing more awesone than playing drums with a bunch of Japanese people. There were also a lot of black people there , really cool. And people would take their shoes of and dance in the grass.

Here is a link to my photoablum with also the pics of the 'Cos Play Zoku' kids. And the pic of the toilet , the mountian and the Rollercoaster are also from Tokyo.



Toilet - Do u know HOW FUNNY Japanese toilet are ?! You have buttons for everything , like one that makes a flush sound so people don't have to hear you poo or pee X-D



Mountain - Fuji! Made from the Shinkansen highspeed train on my way to Osaka. Beautifull sight!



Rollercoaster - Whaah i've been on this one 22 timesn X-D It's so good because it's in the middle of the city and it's really high and suuuuuper fast , and nothing is funnier than siting in a coaster with screaming japanese people X-D



So far my Japan Report.



If anybody has some questions , i am very happy to answer them :D

Can you speak Japanese, or do they all speak English over there?

Well , not many people speak english. The people i work with do , but at shoots sometimes they use a talk. Have u seen lost in translation ? The part where he's at a shoot for that drink ? it's exactly like that X-D

I wanted to learn Chinese but it's shit hard! and yes I do know this is a Japanese thread and they are different people.

damnit jeanie! Im so envious of your worldy travels :'(

i've wanted to travel to japan too for a very long time now, but it's a fucking expensive place. so i gotta do it asap, as my best friend's folks are there on a diplomatic deputation, at least stay would be taken care of.

n that's the closest the chems come to me to play. so it's always been a dream.

my friend visited there last yr and the stories are amazing. like his folks garage, it's a small place where they park one car, push a button, the whole floor rotates goes down into the basement and another parking space for his mom comes up. freak.

also, i hear from him, EVERYTHING is twenty four hrs in japan. n he says everything. u wanna get food at 5 in the morning, restaurants are open. n i'm not talking just pizza delivery. heck he says u can order electrical wiring and cables 24 hrs!

i also remember more than 15 yrs back watching tv and seeing this total indoor beach the japs have created inside tokyo, n it's almost a real beach. also a skiing slope indoor right in the middle of tokyo. like real snow they fly in.

the japs are freak people, very very hardworking, n i hear they party their asses off too. the same people. n to think they were reduced to nothing just 50 yrs back. around the same time we got our independence. and damn, look where those tiny folks are today.

another crazy thing i've always wondered about is their musical tastes. how the hell those 4 tiny islands with a population less than my city here prolly afford to buy every fucking kind of music? i mean, just look at it, from metal, to death metal to classic to electronic to whatever - everything sells big in japan. between how many people? does that mean every music listener listens to all genres?? cause every genre is big in japan, it's the biggets music market outside the US. it's funny. i remember maiden go out touring and they'll do like 5 shows between those four islands in a week. so if i was a decently earning jap, i could fly around and catch my absolute fav bands five times in a week. i don't think the people back in london are that lucky themselves. also with all the special jap promos for every band with those special jap editions. damn.

so jeanie how much above is hearsay and how much is really true?

from whoever i've talked to having visited japan, i hear it's a totally different world, unlike any other place on earth. at least tokyo is.



i just don't like their films. tho they'r very hyped, i've never been able to connect, since they'd speak five mins straight and all the english subtitles would have said is fuck u or a how'r u, nice day, it's a funny language. even compared to korean, hence i enjoy korean, it's more in sync with the subtitles - the guy says five words and u see five words on the subtitles, so i stay connected to the trip. know what i'm sayin?

i just wanna go to Japan for their vending machines

BUBBLEMAN!!!!!!!X-D





Stash Man, I must ask for your permission to copy your costume idea for Halloween. X-D



Only question is how do i get a globe helmet like him!?

I'm thinkin paper mache.

toomuch'stash Escribi�:

I'm thinkin paper mache.

i thought of that too, but will it be sturdy enough?

Paper mache would be sturdy enough for just one night, it's not like you'll be wearing this daily (at least I'd hope not!!) My mom made my brother a Charlie Brown costume when we were kids and she made this gigantic paper mache head - she was crafty like that, it was a great costume! Anyway, she lined the head with chicken wire for reinforcement, then applied foam padding along the interior so it could be comfortable enough to be worn as well as prevent slipping.

well seeing as my halloween will be spent on a college campus, im afraid some big dumb ass frat guy is gonna do something stupid to my "bubble helmet". The floral print shirt (like the one on the website) is easy since i already have one of those. The only problem left is how am i gonna drink with this helmet on? Straw? X-D
