I think this is just their way to express their need (or lack) of sex. But that's just my interpretation :beaten: :hehe:

HA! i doubt it, man...some of those women are probably more promiscuous/sexually active than you think....think about it...they have some notoriety in that they are in all those fashion editorials and photo spreads, plus photographers and others alike flock to shibuya since it's their little empire with the center being ichi-maru-ku. with all that attention i doubt they have to go far to find guys....plus shibuya is f*ckin' loaded with young guys.....looking for young girls, i'm sure...

nampa ... nampa

haha...i'm just throwing those pictures up cuz you aren't going to see that ish anywhere else except japan, and as i mentioned it helps to disabuse people of the notion that there are only a few archtypal versions of people you are going to find japan...modern japan is somewhat more eclectic than ppl think.

in any event, it only makes you appreciate the fine girls more.... :metaldevil:

yeah, major awkward lookin' people. Kind of disappointed when my friend and i visited Harajuku on a Sunday, on our way out of japan, we had about two hours to walk around. Fortunately, i was able to ask a cute j-girl for her pix, she had on a victorian lolita like outfit with an umbrellla, other girls we took at random, one was wearing all pink in an outfit but was kinda fat, another in black but only got her side view. Other than that, there was not much else, i was expected crowds of them, but guess they must have stopped the parades of cosplay. Yeah, makes you appreciate the hot j-girls that much more.... :naughty:

next time i go, i want to get a major zoom lens. I remember when i was sitting infront of Shibuya 109, after going in for awhile, my friend and i waiting and were j-girl watching, tons of them, anyways, these two guys are tracking down young highschool girls and interview them, for what?! i have no idea, but i thought it was interesting that the girls actually talk to them for a few min's. Must have had some extra yen incentive. The guys also had huge cameras around their necks. I could use one like the one in the pix above, the zoom would have helped a lot. I had a very limited one with my camera. :bonk:

Cool, you are waiting for the Yamanote?

yeah, those kiosks are cool, wish they had better ones for around here. Yeah, must've been waiting for the Yamanote line to Akihabara or Shinjuku, not sure which way i was heading, this must've been probably the Shinagawa station. I primarily used that station a lot since the hotel i stayed at was about a 5 - 7 min walk away. :bonk:

lol stupid question...

Where is the Tokyo Tower?

I can't remember, but it looks nice a night.

Oh and the camera lol the lens is going to cost me $1,500 70-200MM VR

you seriously gonna buy that? man i'm so jealous of everybody's money. My total budget to go to japan is not even 2 of your lenses!

lol I can't buy that right now..

However sometime end of next week I have to buy a Nikon SB-800 flash which is around $285..

And a 3rd lens for a wedding thats like $485

:-(

But then again I have 2 weddings this year to do one of them which I'm saddly undercharging them for..

I have a budget right now of around $700 but I hope at least I will get extra for going out Midwest so I can put something to get my friggen Passport.

lol you know the price went up here again.. $90 I think it is...

Heck about 7 months ago I got my camera for $1,150.. lol enough to go to Japan and just sit around lol.

very true. they do random bag searches (when you depart) in both america AND japan. for jp, i know they random-search carry-on luggage. i'm not sure if they do suitcase searches like the TSA does here in usa. the u.s. definitely does both.

doch's suggestion is a good one. i also tend to throw away the boxes and stuff of anything i buy over there. unless it's a present or something.

supermidget: don't know how they do it in holland, but generally speaking, the jp are pretty trusting people, and unless you give them reason to, they won't bother you much. in america, however, (in terms of airport security), you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. :hehe:

i can't quite remember, although i stayed at a hotel right next to it (walking distance). i believe we were west of ginza and south of roppongi.

i see... that will be a good tip i think, about unpacking things... anyway in holland i don't know actually... i haven't been on enough flights to really know. I know that my father got called back because i carried a buta-gass tank in his suitcase for cooking and stuff like pocket knives lol, but that's nothing to do with copyrights and stuff. I think they are not so super strict, but still i'd like to watch out.

no dude, i knew that most of the j-girls were simply avg, probably some more than avg around shibuya 109.... :google:
no, didn't think they all looked like Yu Yamada, her and some of the other j-idols, creme of the crop..... :bow:
but didn't mind the cuties out there, just skipped on the fat ones.
and translation from above phrase for the rest of us? :lol:
