Day 2 - "Tits Like Bags of Sick"

The highlight of the day was definitely visiting the parasite museum, though shopping at Akihabara was OK too, I guess. In Shibuya, they have lampposts in the main thoroughfare with speakers attached, playing this "fun" theme song which mainly consists of random "WHEEEE! YAAAAAY!" sounds, to the tune of Japanese oom-pah. No doubt these "WHEEEE! YAAAAAY!" speakers would be eating hot lead if Times Square tried to do the same thing. Shibuya feels like a condensed Times Square, and even on a weekday afternoon there are tons of people (not necessarily tourists) walking around, esp. camera crews & schoolgirls. Apparently one can be known as a "Shibuya girl," which doesn't really carry a good connotation--like a mall girl, but more ridiculous.

Vibrators sell for twice as cheap here. Under the guise of massage aids.

(Damn it's really hard to write entries for days past.)

Lunch:
Octopus balls, melon soda

Dinner:
Korean BBQ

Personals

Seeking sex friend, only for pleasure. I'm
safe and good guy, because I have family
and love them. I only care about pleasing
you, not myself. Japanese guy, 27, 175 cm, seeks cute,
slim, English female for friendship and
more. I speak some English and am training
my body to look like Brad Pitt. Come and
find out.

Octopus balls are a popular snack in Japan. Melon soda is quite a nice soda beverage as well. Shibuya.
I didn't mean to put a photo of swollen testicles next to octopus balls, but this photo was why I wanted to visit the Meguro Parasitological Museum. Five floors of fun-filled facts (mostly in Japanese) about our favorite air/water/soil-borne friends. Meguro Parasitological Museum.
Period painting of someone suffering from swollen testicles via parasite. Meguro Parasitological Museum.

From the MPM collection, the museum's gift shop. Featuring pictures of tapeworms on shirts & bags, done in realistic puffy paint, and other shirts bearing "Wonderful World of the Worm." Note fluke head on the rightmost shirt. Meguro Parasitological Museum.
I, the Meguro Parasitological Museum fashion whore.
Coming from a country where it's hard enough to find a phone that doesn't suck, to seeing stores with entire floors wall-to-wall covered with cell phones in every permutation possible--except in standard black, w/o bells & whistles or a decent display for WAPping off. Akiharaba.

A possibly useless Japanese product disguised as "something useful." Akihabara.
$340 techno toilet seats. With spray control, in case your colon needed a quick rinse. Note how high the ball is elevated by the water jet. Akihabara.
This is for Jen Palmer. Akiharaba.

Though Japan is known as the land of the rising sun, it's also known as the land of being inundated by accessory choices.
