Yesterday we spent the day in Enoshima at the beach. Good thing we decided against surfing because there were NO waves. This beach is great, besides the stupid eagle that stole food right from my chopsticks,

and hit me on the head with it's wing... haha ass hole bird.
We stayed at the beach long enough to watch the sunset then headed back to Shibuya to celebrate Esin's 23rd birthday.

Starting at tasuichi we met some amazing new Japanese friends that we spent the rest of the night with. We went to this awesome bar called the Red Room which duh, is red and has around one hundred incredible antique chandeliers all over the ceiling and the walls. It is so retro, capturing every decade starting with the roaring 20's. Oh I loved it! I got in huge trouble for taking a picture (damn) so when you come to Tokyo make sure you stop in and meet the most famous french couple in Shibuya, who is always there to add a more eclectic feel to this glamorous izakaya.
Oh! Design Festa..

Reminded me a lot of Art's Festival in Salt Lake, just much bigger and inside. Lots of people showing their ideas of what art "really is", bands and good food. Esin volunteered to do interviews, and when she was photographing me for my interview, some young Japanese girls mst have thought I was famous and wanted a picture with me... haha

It was interesting to see cool jewelry, robots, an "electronic space metal" band, eat melon pan, guys who thought getting drunk and passing was art, photos depicting suicide, transvestites, and paintings slightly resembling Roy Litchenstein.
This next week we are planning, yet again, a REAL trip to Izu. Rent a car, and drive down to surf for 2 days and hang out on the beautiful sandy beaches. I'm excited. It's soon a new month, and that means Takuya will be able to get days off so we can spend some time together. YEAY!!
