Japan 2006

I had the opportunity to go to Tokyo Japan twice in 2006 for business. Considering Canada was considered the extent of my foreign country experience before this it was an assult on all my senses. In a good way though!




This is what I refer to as Tokyo's version of Pike Street Market. This is a line of little shops lining the sidewalks leading to Asaksa temple...
















One of the shops, up close!


















The Pagoda







































The worlds largest condom store!













Smirnoff Tokyo Icebar. Yes, a bar made of Ice! One of only 5 in the world. I may have lasted more then 20 minutes had I not been a skirt and toeless shoes







Night before I came home (I was on 6 of about 12 glasses of plum wine that night! Yes, the 12 hour flight back to Portland the next day was BRUTAL!) We were at a Korean BBQ. As you can see they bring out raw food and you cook it in your mini fire pit at your table. I wonder what the USDA would think of this...
