February 14th - HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !

Today was so much fun! First of all, it was Valentine's Day. Not that I have one, but it is quite nice. This day is very important in Japan, it's like booming business. The girls give the boys chocolate on Valentine's Day, and the boys show their gratitude one month later by buying the girls chocolates. Weird.

Anyway, Martika and I went to Yukiko-san's house this morning to practice for tea ceremony. Martika never experienced that, so it was all new to her. Yukiko-san had promised me to dress her up as a geisha, so she did. She wore a beautiful green/orange kimono, it looked awesome. I wore a purple one, and I looked like an idiot. Also, we had to be all clean: no bronzing whatsoever. So, yeah, I looked like a ghost.

After the practice, Martika and I went to Tokyo Hands. Tokyo Hands is a major department store with a lot of practical items. It's like a huge DIY shop, I love that. Martika bought some stuff for her mobile phone, and I bought icecream silicone to pimp my Gameboy. We were hanging around that shop for so long, we loved it!

We went to the Tokyo Tower by night. I had already been there myself in daytime, but I also wanted to see it by night. It was beautiful, but very crowded. Obviously, couples thought it as romantic to go to the Tokyo Tower for Valentine's Day.

We had a party planned for the evening, so we went home to get ready. First, I had to pay Ai a visit: she was DJing somewhere in Shibuya. When M & I got there, it turned out to be a small pub for locals. Also, there was a whole B'day party going on: awkward! So we left, like real divas. Some people I met recently threw a Valentine's party at Trump's House in Shibuya. That place if gorgeous (remember, I showed you some pictures), so it was a good choice. It started off quite nice, but the people were all kind of crazy. At the end of the night, people were laying on the floor, with boobs hanging out. We laughed so hard, those people are just pathetic. I mean, they were doing all those ridiculous stuff in front of the camera: seriously, I would kill my self the next day. But, I guess that's what they do all day.

Because we had seen enough, we left that party. That was around 3 o'clock, but because the first train departures at 5 A.M., we had to do something. We met a guy on the street who was at the other party as well. He took us to Trump's Room, another club. This club was AMAZING. Really, I have never ever seen such a club like that. 4 floors with all the local punk-rock-gothic Japanese people. It was so nice to see, all the people were crazy ad hell and Martika and I danced so much!

We were so tired, so we went to sleep around 6 o'clock. Geez, what a day!!
