HARRY'S JAPAN BLOG - JANUARY 2008

Hello all

Just a little missive from the orient. We're having a grand old time in Japan. Tokyo really lives up to expectations - full on lost in translation/manga anime madness, super cool inhabitants and a good sized helping of freakery. Buildings have trains coming out of them and football pitches on top. Elevators are generally to be found outside rather than inside and basically, everything has already been thought of, organised, put together, and most importantly works! Magic. Jet lag has taken its merry toll on us all - weird other-worldly days and restless insomniac lights. I had a close call the other night. At around 4 AM I gave up on sleep and decided to go for a walk. stopping off in a 7-11, tired confused and desperate I thought I'd struck gold when I found some pills called "Night King". I was just taking them to the counter when I looked a bit closer and saw a rather comely looking woman on the packaging. Ah. Its probably not a good idea to take viagra and then try to sleep... 2 Great gigs so far, liquid rooms and Shibuya AX. We're off to Osaka tomorrow. Bullet train. Yee-ha. More to come.

Cheers, Harry x
