What goes up, must come down

Life is a game, and we all like to play..

But what goes up, must eventually come down

and not always in the most convenient locations…

Post-perfectionistic Japan

Oh…look at the time!!!

Its five minutes past five (closing time), and Im still inside the Tokyo National museum. Who would belive…such inconsiderate behavior was tolerated!

I certainly dont think this “flawless entity of furniture” was an intende part of the exibition, but it definitely states the contemporary and yet historical intent to keep things in order!

On the other hand. The road to HELL is paved with such good intentions (according to Madonna). And incidents do happen, where on wonders “what the h**** were they thinking?” Such as this dark alley, containing….an image of the post-perfectionistic Japan! So disturbing….

Can not look…a collection of trash, my eyes hurt!!!

YOU ARE HERE!!!

Lots of people spend a lifetime searching for themself. Aimlessly looking in the shadows…however, many take a crack at the eastern mystics, religions and philosophies.

Who would believe, right beside “The Pine Tree where Buddhist Priest Rennyo Hung His Robe” THAT is were I was. Finally and most important, I had found myself.

The one legged prostitute lamp!!!

Who would not want this exquisite piece of furniture…? 

It will certainly brighten up your day…

Akihabara, the dark side of peace & harmony

On the surface, the Japanese seem exceptionally well adjusted, smart and content. The concept of Wa, states the importance of working and living together in peace and harmony, avoiding confrontation is essential.

And it looks good…on the surface!

Proverb of the day “Deru kui wa utareru” Its better to conform than to stand out. (Or maybe not?)

Fat people vs. skinny people

An “unusual” classification of people. The concept though is universal, everyone entering a public lavatory must be separated and classified. If not, there would be total caos and confusion…right?

And for people who are not too fond of their apperance (in the sharp revealing fitting room light), a tool to tackle the obstacles of life in the modern beauty oriented world is provided. Very convenient!

Fish on a stick – Sushi`s evil twin

In the great land of sushi, some fish still gets grilled….

turning it into a sweet, HOT and salty snack…

I wanted to look like Madonna, Mello style…

 

But ended up looking like a white trash version of myself : (

Not that there is anything wrong with that, its just not the HOTest thing ever!

Homeless, but not hopeless…

There are actually quite a few homeless people in Tokyo. But contrasting homeless people in other cities, they are not anoying or disturbing. Rather freindly, polite & straightedge.

This supprisingly stylish man used to sit by the Louis Vuitton window display, every single day. And when you take a closer look at his ansamblè, it strongly resembles John Gallianos fall/winter collection 2006. Coincidence? I think not…..

A hot guy sleeping in the streets, not an unusual sight…

Unfortunately, not everyone sleeps like a prince…

If (when) you miss the last train, it is completely safe and appropriate to drop dead on the ground. And no one cares…its convinient!
