roppongi

the same day that i photographed the tuna auction, i met up with

a friend of a friend, yuriko-chan in a corking place in roppongi called...

( ok, i've forgotten what it was called... it was just a number not a name )

yuriko brought along kana, a friend of hers, who i've already mentioned

in previous posts due to the pulp fiction style timeline i'm using here

( caused by blogging photos from three different cameras in the order which

they were taken )

er...

after a few drinks i resorted to my standard tactic of drawing myself

and my companions on a couple of my business cards

left to right: me, yuriko-chan, kana-chan.

they got me back by doing sketches of me...

on the right is yuriko's effort, which is pretty good although it looks like

i'm struggling with a mouthful of sushi or something.

on the left, check out kana's effort... she studied me for ages then simply

did a profile sketch of me ! very nice indeed. very stylish.

kana also tried to teach me how to write my name in japanese

hmmm...

as we were leaving i spotted a very nice background for a little photoshoot

( you know i like wood right ? )

here's one i took of kana and yuriko

then i asked a passer by to take a shot of the three of us

fail.

i didn't know how to say "is there any chance?" in japanese so yuriko

politely asked her to try again...

still a pretty disgraceful attempt, which is a shame as i was looking like

a boss here !

obviously i asked one of the ladies to take a shot of me... just of me

nice... i love wood.

next it was yuriko's turn to take a shot of me and kana

then myself and yuriko eyed kana suspiciously as she took a shot of the two of us

i should say a big thank-you to yuriko and kana for meeting up with me,

listening to my rubbish stories and putting up with me griping about the beer.
