I'm not hip

As I wrote yesterday, Tomoe and I went out "clubbing" last night as we were added to the guest list byu a friend. I guess I'm just not a hip cat. It was amazingly interesting, seeing the life I missed out on as a youngster, but by eleven, the volume on the dance floor was taking it's toll, not to mention I was hungry and just plain sleepy like a little baby, so we left before the party even got started, grabed some ramen, and caught the not-even-last train back to Tomoe's.

I tried to take a lot of photos at the club, because the lights were interesting, but unfortunately my camera doesn't do so well in the dark. The next day in Yoyogi Uehara however, I went crazy and was only stopped by a dead battery. I can't tell if it's just a more interesting place than Nishieifuku (where I live and usually take photo-strolls on the weekend) or if it is just that much cooler.

Walking around the neighborhood, we stumbled across the Afghanistan embassy. I wouldn't have believed it if it weren't for the mailbox, but it's just tucked away in a regular old apartment building with a couple of other tenants.

And a final little note of no relation to anything above... this is some of the expensive beef here in Japan. The more marble, the more you pay. In America butchers hide the fat on the bottom so the meat looks lean, but here...

Lots more photos here.

That picture of a hand near a meat grinder made me sick :S
