Link sashimi

June 1st, 2005

Lara is once again in the Far East and out of deference to her, I’m
serving up links of a decidedly oriental flavour:

  • Actually, maybe food was a bad metaphor for my intro considering
    my first link is to a somewhat unappetising toilet
    bowl restaurant in Taipei
    . Lara travels there next week and said
    she’d try to check it out. Photos may follow…
  • Extremely cute (but pricey) Bathing
    Ape children’s clothes
    , especially those orange and white trainers. ¥1000
    = roughly £5.
  • It’s not quite origami but this paper
    Air Force 1 kit
    will keep the budding sneaker head busy in the
    school holiday.
  • Next time you’re having a Lost in Translation moment distract yourself
    with a hotel-room hunt for secret
    wall tattoos
    . Or create one yourself.
  • Indispensible for Blade Runner style city breaks, Super
    Future Cities
    has maps and info for urban adventurers. Detailed
    with all the boutiques and cool places to eat, I’m surprised they
    don’t have an icon just for Manolos. Spot Lara’s hotel, the Cerulean
    Towers
    on this map
    of Shibuya
    . Am I sounding jealous yet?
  • I’ll have to settle for closer to home. Wagamama turned us away for
    the second time on Sunday night ("kitchen malfunction") so
    instead we ate at the excellent Moshi
    Moshi
    . Highly recommended.
