spiced couple in tokyo - paris

Saturday- I went to Hibiya park (near the Imperial Palace) with my new friend Ryah. There was a big international-cultural festival taking place.

Over spicy noodles and octopus dumplings, we discussed shoes, men, politics, moral values... it was THE BEST time!!!

AND -for the first time, here in Tokyo, finally got to see some REAL Gothics. Apparently, handbags and backpacks are OUT !! THE way to cart ar0und y0ur essentials...is a carry-on sized suit-case. SERIOUSLY!! Handle extended...they drag them around after them!! I suppose it is handy...they can carry around cans and cans of hairspray to keep the hair 20 feet in the air and enough black eye-liner to write the lyrics to Prodigy's FireStarter on the sidewalk....

Note to self: get a cool shiny carry on case. And learn to rat hair 3 feet tall... But Risk Management advises to quit smoking- if going to use that much hairspray....

CLASSIFIEDS - Secondhand items for sale
The Japanese people are not very fond of secondhand goods. They always prefer to have new goods, be it homes, cars or TV's. This means that secondhand goods are very cheap and a good buy, but there is not many of them out there.

Classifieds at Gaijinpot has a godd selection of classified goods, but really only good for jobs and housing. House hold goods sections are limited, but there are often foreigners leaving Japan and selling off all there stuff. Hand if you have just moved to Japan and want to buy some household items.

Craigslist Tokyo is not like the Craigslist's in the US, where they are a secondhand phenomenon. You can buy or sell virtually anything. Before leaving Seattle to move to Tokyo I managed to sell of lots of unwanted belongings. Here in Tokyo it is nowhere near as popular, with only foreigners and a very few Japanese knowing about it.
