Travelounge: Lights! Secrets of Sex! Food in Japan!

When the day turns to night, Shibuya doesn't sleep!

After the heavy downpour, I was so bored in the hotel that

I decided to take a stroll down the road. Didn't expect anything but just wanted

to enjoy the cool weather and the sights of the street by night.

The temperature dipped, luckily I was prepared with my leather ZARA jacket!

As I walked down the street of Shibuya at 8pm, the roads are getting busier...

maybe people on their way home from work.

Hmmm...so many guys just loitering around the streets.

Braving the cold, I searched the alleys & lanes for adventure!

Upon close inspection.....that last me till midnight these are

what I learnt about the city of Shibuya....

The Fabulous Shibuya 109. I love this place! Non stop

levels of shopping! What you need you will get it here!

Mostly street fashion wear and I'm Loving it!

This Order & Pay Vendor machine. Order & pay here.

Get your ticket, pass it to the counter and get your food!

So fun that I wanted to bring this machine home!

The Lights! Billboard! Almost blinding you!

They are everywhere and of course I'm Loving it!

Wish Singapore have more Billboard!!

This yummy mighty delicious hot soba that comes

in a tiny bowl! Simply home-made-powerful! So good that

I wanted to bring the chef home! The best part it's cheap!

The inside of the eatery. Small & cosy.

I'm telling you, the best food are from these

local eatery and not from the restaurant! You'll find

real authentic dishes here. Recipe from the traditions & brought

down from generations.

The delicious eatery shop!

Very home-made food.

Just lucky to stumble

to this place!

Tuck in the back alley...just across the eatery..
I saw this! Well curious... I did
venture in... to find you know what..
Sex toy! Penis pumps, vibrators of all sizes...
OH! you know....the usual suspects!

Not sure where I was...I keep going in further
the lanes & saw many video shops.
Small ones and this big one!
I figured that it's must be a video
renting shop! So I went in and it's not...
The rent video alright! but it's porn!
Customer can view the video in the comfort &
privacy of your own room. So all the guys that I mentioned earlier standing
on the streets were actually pimp and they are from these shops!
They are looking for customer for sex shop and I was daring enough
to approached one of them. Sadly they don't understand English.
I don't speak Japanese. All he said in English that I could fathom was,
'Girls...Drinks Happy Hour...'

This is a smaller sex shop. Selling all kinds of
sex toys & videos. I say it's really cool!

The Lights of Shibuya, colorful and captivating.
What you need you

will find in the street. Sex? Food? Happy Hour? Billboard! Fashion!

Shibuya 109! Many other High End Brands too!
I love this place!

So much to embrace! The city breath a different air from

day to night. The best part of it all...these places are just next to each

in a walking distance.
Happy travelling & adventure if

you're heading to Japan!

Travel location: Shibuya, Japan

Travelounge: Hardcore Harajuku!

I'm in Harajuku Japan! The weather is cold!

It was raining and the slippery pavement makes me walk like a geisha!

Afraid of falling flat on my face I took small steps while my eyes wanders.

I love Harajuku! In fact I love Japan! It's Fashion are amazing!

Amazing.... Shibuya is so trendy. Harajuku is the heartbeat of all...where it's started.

Sadly I managed to spot a few Harajuku girls but they decline on photo taking!

What's up with that?

Anyways I was told by a local acquaintance that these girls are rare now.

With more fast forward fashion brands from the west open in Harajuku,

the girls are now looking more 'normal'.

I don't know how true is that but she did mentioned that

there are only certain days when you will be able to see true blue Harajuku girls.

Sadly when I was there, that was not the day! In all that theory,

still I wander around the streets just to venture and look-see-look-see....

This very friendly guy allowed me to have a photo with him.

He definitely stood out from the busy crowd.

A little chat with him says that he's a graffiti artist and so...snap!

I took the metro/subway. It was fun and easy.
May get confusing because there's so many poster
and advertisements all over the place.

Yes! Enjoy beautiful life! That's so cute!

This is where all the independent local designer shops
are. Some looking like Haji lane...

Cosplay shop

Stumble upon this weird graffiti...maybe the Afro guy did this?

This shop signage made me burst out laughing.
Sorry but its corny.

This guy start to pose in front of me when

he knows I was clicking away at the streets!

He gave me a series of poses!

Well I just took one.

Love the Uniform darling...

I learnt that people here eat and go, not sure why?

Maybe it's the culture?

Here you have boys gobbling their food on the go.

In the eateries I notice too when they finish their meal they leave.

Not like us still chit chat for another hour after our meal

when other diners are waiting upon for seat..

Not sure what these guys are doing standing in the middle of the road.

but when I got close they seems to pass some papers to selected people.

I wanted to have it but they walk away! Hmmmm!

I still wonder what is that......

I hope to come back soon... when I save more money!

It's expensive in Japan...but it's worth to see the people and culture.

Just a vast different from the rest of the world....

The night life of Harajuku & Shibuya paints a different story...

The Lights! Billboard! Sex trade! Secrets in the ally!

Great food! Other Amazing Stuff!

Come back soon for the dark side of the streets...
