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.
