In Japan, people go crazy over decorated nails. I'm personally not willing to pay someone lots of money to keep my nails looking nice (at least not yet), so I do them myself.

Here's my attempt at some festive flowers for cherry blossom season.

On Sundays if I'm able I do like to go to Harajuku. If I don't have much else to do I'll also dress in my "regalia" of the Elegant Gothic Lolita. My wardrobe was in need of a refresh, so I got a new wig and hat and tried out my red skirt. It all worked quite well together and I'm pleased with how it came together.

There is a Brazilian festival in Harajuku this weekend.  It seems a large number of the people who went to Brazil a couple generations ago have returned, or rather their children have, and they have brought a Brazilian twist to Tokyo.  It's nice to see a glimmer of multiculturalism once in a while.

So here I am, hot and tired with a plate of steak, sausage and grilled pineapple from Barbacoa, shown behind me.

I didn't do much of anything today but there were a ton of nice photos from Hong Kong so instead I'll post one of those.  Here I am "supporting" the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha, 天壇大佛) in Ngong Ping.

The deer in Nara Park bow to you for biscuits.  They're a Japanese national treasure, for real.  Fat little things too.
