I live in a quite posh area. Everyone, when I say where I live, opens the eyes surprised. It is like if I lived in La Moraleja or something similar. It is a well-known area for nice french cafeterias and rich people.
But not everything is posh and fancy. Everyday, I see this car. I wouldn’t be surprise if one day, Doc and Michael appear in a corner…
Fushimi Inari is a the sacred mountain of the wealth. It’s been protected by foxes and other animals for centuries.
Nowadays, people and companies from all over Japan come here to build their own toriis for praying the Gods to success in important businesses or similar wealth-oriented desires.
It was great, until I discovered some of the insects living there decided to taste me… I got 15 red dots souvenirs in my leg which lasted for a couple of days. Japanese spiders are not that fun!
Last Sunday, I finally went to Yoyogi Park. This park is very famous for several things, but one of the main reasons are the Rockabillies. These Rock&Roll lovers meet always in one of the entrances of the park quite customized…
… and they also dance all together.
This week I was sort of lucky, because they were posing to a professional photographer. There were also there girls, which in my opinion are part of a real band of music and they took all the rockabillies as cheap extras for the promotion.
I have to go back to Yoyogi another day when more people dressed as manga characters are there, because last Sunday it was not that full of people.
Let me introduce you the famous square and pyramidal Watermelons!
Yes, they are real. Yes, they are on sale. Yes, they are really expensive (1000 yen = 6 euros, calculate the prices). Yes, some people buy them.
No, I don’t know how they make them.
