This is the view from the restaurant I took a friend of a homo friend from LA to. It was fabulous. A homo friend of mine from LA flew in last week and it was his first time to be in Tokyo though he was just here for three nights. I showed him around a little. When I show someone around in Tokyo, I don't focus on tradditional areas because that could be probably done better in Kyoto or other traditional cities. Tokyo is all about energy so I tend to take somewhere very noisy/plastic/shiny/beautiful. I didn't focus on the homo district too much, either since I don't hang out there much. But I covered homo basics :) We went to a sophisticated Japanese Izakaya for the first night and Tempura for the second. Even though it's always hard to explain the menu in detail in English, I tried my best. I showed him how to take the subway and some tips in Japanese. I hope he had a good time to see Shigeki's version of Tokyo. Since he drinks wine, we went to my favorite wine bar even. Yes, I have to admit I did drink a lot last week even though I was busy at work. It was a miracle that I didn't have any hang over. Now, yesterday, GaijinGirl was here. She is here for her sister's tennis match. I took her to one of the favorite traditional Japanese restaurants in Tokyo. I hope she had a good time. :) I am hoping I can take her to antoher place before she leaves. I had a hunky Spanish gay friend visiting last month and he said he had a great time. I will have another friend visiting from the States next month and Mark, possibly in November? I must admit I am getting better to show somoene around here in Tokyo :) I may not be a great concierge but I am always delighted to assist my friends :) Really. If you plan to come here whether you are straight or gay, please let me know. My schedule might not work some times but I will do best! The only problem was I already spent a half of my monthly allowance for October...Have a fantabulous day!

1.... I didn't know Viagra is an old story. Cialis is the new viagra? huh and it can last up to 36 hours. It doesn't mean you would be hard for that long if you took it, silly. Well, for the record, I do not have erectile dysfunction. But I recently tried it for recreational purposes. Wow :-)
2....A friend of mine told me the other day that I was a wine slut. Well, thankfully, I am not a real slut like he is. I am so thankful for that. But I think I am neither...
3....Today is a national holiday. But I am so working The Autumn Equinox. Summer heat/ winter cold doesn't last after the equinox. That's so true. Suddenly, it has gotten cooler. I am so taking a long bath tonight.
4....There aren't many Japanese men with chest hair, you know. It's rare to see them with chest hair. But one of the staff at work does. I try not to look at it but my eyes automatically go to that without realizing it... me? I don't have it unfortunately.
5....Since I was being a workaholic, I took A to the champagne bar at this upscale hotel last night as an apology. We sat in a comfy love sofa and held hands together. We didn't do anything inappropriate. Thankfully, we didn't get shot :-) haha. But it was too late when I realized I shouldn't have taken him there when his stomach was so empty...
Have a fantabulous day/night!

If you know me, I wasn't being a food/wine snob. I just enjoy it so much. This is the best therapy when I am frustrated at work! :)
Have a fantabulous weekend!!!

1...I've been working every freaking weekend including national holidays until the first week of November due to this stoooopid project at work. So this three day weekend in Japan means work to me :-( But I am so having alternate vacation days a lot after the project.!!!
2...There was the construction going on in the same office building (yes, it's a national holiday today but I worked damn it). They were painting and the smell of thinner was filled in the buidling. oh, I felt so good.
3...I've been working 10 days straight (I am still gay) and trying to watch my nuturition not to get a cold or anything because I cannot afford sick days as the projec goes on. So I've been taking this vitamin drink in the photo. With that, I had dried Japanese apricot. oh Wow, the mixed taste is totally like Marijuana. But I don't get high from it. It's about time I should go back to that city :)
4...I've been planning on my future trips since I haven't had many this year. (Only three trips this year?). Yes, I am a travel-holic. I can't live without it! Where to? I shall tell you later.
5...I used to blog almost every day like a year ago or so. I should probably increase more because I want to do some E-learning things. I shall if I can :)
Have a fantastic week!
