The adventures of Tyrone in Tokyo and beyond...

Sunday 21 October 2007

I love this city!

I went in to Yoyogi Park with my friends this afternoon - I've never been on a Sunday before, it's such a cool place!

We skipped with a skipping rope, played tiggy (tag), while walking through the park realised we were following a family whose daughter was riding a unicycle, danced at a rave being held in a corner of the park at 4 in the afternoon, did handstands and cartwheels, joined in a group doing Mexican dancing, saw a skateboarding dog, saw people dressed as Spiderman (this guy was scrawny, so not much of a superhero) and some other type of superhero/pro-wrestler, saw people sitting in the park blowing bubbles, throwing frisbees, juggling, drumming, and passed the people dressed in cosplay on the bridge in Harajuku. All in the space of around 3 hours.

I freakin' love this city!

Tyrone is Back... now with 530% more drumming!

Just to let you know, I'm back from my holiday - I managed to eat everything on my list, and climbed an active volcano, so 'twas a successful vacation by my standards!
I have SO many photos, will start uploading a few in the next week. Before then however I've got a concert on Tuesday night (M.I.A. with Aaron and Camilla).

In the meantime, enjoy some Japanese drumming. This was a family of drummers Aaron and I chanced upon in the streets of Nippori in Tokyo (set up literally next to a 7-11).












Oh... one final thing. While walking the streets of Akihabara tonight, we found... bread in a can. Rest assured, I bought some, and will let you know how it tastes. It is because I care about you dear reader that I make this sacrifice.

And as Aaron asked... just how many lessons do you need to be able to Hula?
