UNIQLO yet ....

A friend sent me this link on the UNIQLO collection that I mentioned in the previous post.

Deja, AC better reflects what it is.

For some, the visuals almost pass for Nike ...

My favorite: down in a sports fabric just perfect in gray or white mice and the short sleeve sweater in china .

And miraculously, they had my size in the Shinjuku Saturday ... all is not lost friends.

Show The Indian Salwarsuit

The Very Good News: Yoga line Uniqlo

Friends, I think I have a scoop: CEO of Uniqlo reads my blog.

I see that AC as an explanation.

I tell you.

Last night, I pass by chance before the Uniqlo Shibuya, and since it is 19:30 and it is well known, I have nothing better to do at 19.30, I venture to the interior .

Good Uniqlo, I recap for those who did not, at first I was moderately hot, then I saw their shawls, their skinny jeans, dress my colleague (not found elsewhere) their Development in NY and very soon in France and since I can not help but go see if there is something interesting.

In general, I do not buy anything and I leave frustrated not to understand the reason for their success.

But last night, I fell in admiration (let's not mince words) to their line of yoga.

Well, I say yoga because I'm egocentric but it can be used at any sports room or even outside in fact.

The line is offered in 3-4 down, tee shirts, sweatshirts, all tissues in "dry" planned for the sport and in super soft material.

colors and cuts are Mc Cartneyisantes thoroughly, so I wonder how they will avoid a trial for plagiarism, but that's another story. And

miracle of the story is that each item is a maximum 2,000 yen.
If they had made yoga bags more kissed the head of the shop.

Deja, I was literally leaps to the linear, multiplying them go back to the dressing room and giving me abuse for not taking every articles identified in 3 colors.

Well, much to let you know right away, the collection was released two days ago and already, the XS is out of play, the S being sold out soon and the M limit in the right colors.

Reality check number 2: for 2,000 yen, the matter can not be worthy of a top Nike, so I do not guarantee that my new wardrobe yogesque survive beyond the first wash.

And good, frankly, I have tried a low that was once a little cheap door (middle cut, cloth a tad brighter), so the try before purchase is required.

Nevertheless, even when I dropped (finally a lachade Uniqlo, it amounts to less than 10,000 yen, we will not yell either), and I'm left with the white yoga pants I was looking for ages ( found, even in France) and a good supply of small tops and hoodies.

short, dark-y, tomorrow there will be nothing!

site (not top their site eh, it does not put all in value items, it's like a La Redoute), briefly, the site is anyway.

Przysłowie : Kto Nie Rad

Luxury Ryokan Sora

Let our tour of luxury ryokan in Japan.

This weekend, it has Izu that I visited, Shuzenji more precisely, a small town's favorite former president Chirac and only place in Japan or perhaps you'll see pictures of Bernadette shirt accompanying Jacques and her fan at the local store!

More seriously, if Shuzenji is so popular, not only for the city and its temples and other small shops kawaii, but also for the wonderful ryokan Asaba and no doubt, for his neighbor that I want you talk about today: Sora.

Ideally located just a top of a mini hill, if the building is not worth Asaba, the entrance of Sora is no less impressive.

A nice garden with a carp pond greets visitors.
staff is as it should in Japan: pleasant and considerate. A welcome

juice will be served before you take to your room, spacious and uncluttered.

Nevertheless, you will not miss anything: bathroom with bath overlooking the valley and toilet in the room of course, big screen TV, what the basics.


Turning to the reason that brings us here: the bathroom. No less

of 4 different types of baths here, including one for which Sora is known: the bright rotenburo, my faith very nice night.

the most beautiful baths are not super roomy but we do not work either.


Nevertheless, it is the coolest private baths: well insulated, large and hair cell facing the valley.

A test must if you go there.

Grace that I get out again this weekend with legs that Bastien Gonzalez can not deny I'm the nights of 12 hours (unless it is the alcohol last night ca, am not yet sure) .

short, onsen keep their promises.

Second highlight of the stay: gastronomy.

Since we are not far from the sea, the cuisine is primarily marine.

They are as they should be of a fineness and sophistication incomparee off kaiseki cuisine, but most importantly, they do not stop ... so I cry mercy three courses before dessert.

Quite simply, the menu is by far the longest I had ever seen.

And for those who are afraid of being bored in the evening, there is a masseuse (I've tested my first Lomi Lomi, a Hawaiian massage vigorous very amusing) and even the possibility of bringing geisha for the modest the sum of 24,000 yen 2 hours or a "companion" (someone explain the meaning of this term, I'm afraid to misunderstand) for less than 20,000 yen.

One thing is sure: the hours they spin at high speed in such a framework.

Ah yes, I almost forgot: the price? Ah, I am fortunate to have generous friends so I can not tell you (do not imagine anything eh, friends have said, not a friend, rhoooooooo) but anyway when you love the onsen, we do not count.

Sean Connery Workout For James Bond

Tests for you: Reiki Reflexology

No, no, do not leave a single reading of the title,

good already, for those who do not know, reiki is ca.

Yes I know, "like that" practice of laying on of hands for the retablier energies ", it makes the best New Age scam at worst free or sect for more suspicious of you (not to mention the My Momma).

Anyway, here: a friend we can ne-plus-the-head-on-the-shoulders, swore by AC to cure her migraines and convinced me I had to try my qund turn suffered from psychosomatic problems completely.

His opinion on the matter was that the placebo effect or not, his pains were reduced or canceled a few days after his stint with the sensei and she would not whether the cause of this was psychic or healing reikique as it worked.

Why not indeed.

Add to this that as long as I live in Japan, I like trying local practices ( well, not all eh, I do not even sell my panties ) and you have convinced me.

So I accompanied my friend or his master Omori practiced reiki, a little worried about my fate, I must admit.

I entered a neat little room or the master and the assistant are installed. I explain my problem in Japanese as I did without results to three doctors before and I lie on the table fully clothed. The

Sensei turns around the table without touching me, installs things around me and after a moment, I am amazed: it works really well ... I feel even remotely a bottom heat of his hands on my feet.

I turned my eyes to see this miracle and finds that not spiteful, it is only the lamps he placed over my feet. Arf.

The session lasts about an hour. In total it only affects my feet and hands and left me with a bandage on each little toe (for what? Mystery)

After a diatribe on the fact that I should not go out with hipster jeans (apparently bad cest for health, fortunately for our future reikique, fashion's high-waisted back in force), that I should not take baths whole but only the legs and I can massage my toes when my problem surfaced (admit it's great practice, meeting ...), it didn 'will say no more about the causes or the cure of my mysterious evil.

Nevertheless, I follow his instructions to the letter, buy the heating pad advise me to apply for 15 days on my body and I end up not thinking about it.


This story took place there over a year now.
And actually, my health has improved subsequently, but I mainly attributed to the AC normal course of nature rather than virtues Y. sensei.
I did indeed never seen again.

Nevertheless, according to my friend, many of her friends have seen a clear improvement or complete healing after a few sessions with him.


Well, for the address, do not try, if I put it online, my friend is killing me but if you're motivated, I can probably give by mail.

If I remember right, it's 6000 yen this session and also the sensei practice acupuncture.

And all the better if ever ca "works" for you ...

Versİon 1.011 Mount & Blade Serİal Number



After an intensive dance classes and an evening too watered, prolonged late into the night, I woke up Sunday morning (14 hours) moderately fit.

Why I told you that?

Because, having no desire to move my grassieux (sic) posterior, I simply accompany Human haircut at 500 meters from my house.

And next to her hairdresser, there is a Queensway, yeah, you know, the Mac Donald of reflexology which blooms as much as the Berlitz Tokyo.

I did not hesitate. Heeding my courage, I went back for a little "refresh Oil Massage" 25 minutes.

Verdict?

Honestly, really better than I thought.

Deja, once past the front reception and clean but not exactly glamorous, one enters a low-lit room (to be honest, I feared the neon has flat out that the Japanese love so much) and delicious smell of perfume, spa limit it is like in Thailand ... (With an effort of imagination anyway).

Well there are three persons but it is bearable because the spacious and well-agency way to what you do not see the neighbor's head.

Hospitality is entirely in Japanese of course but there is even the ritual questions (do you have an allergy blabla) in English. And you must admit that during a massage, you do not need to talk. The

(more if younger than that) so masseuse arrives with his portable foot bath, massage and method, not without me put a hot pad around the neck (option costs 500 yen and I'm not sure but the interest is) and me fully extended.

Well, I must say frankly that it is not badly.
massage the calves was a pure delight, the foot was held not bad and helped resurrect my poor bits of flesh that has the force to pass Repetto (flat) at Jimmy Choo (high) firing sacrament of cum .

25 minutes for a tad less than 3500 yen, but Japan remains the AC is reasonable.
If you do not know what to do after a Sunday afternoon, it does not refuse.

Student Initiationsmovies

terraces in Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo

The good weather returned officially in Tokyo (no, no, we do not scoff at the rain every other day) so it will soon be time to get to the sun.
What's better than a drink or eat in the evening cool, on a terrace.

But then, in Tokyo, they are really desirable, especially since Las Chicas AND Hanezawa Garden have closed ...

Here is a little review (not exhaustive) list of my favorite parts of my predilection, I will update as and as I shall find the places I love (no flickering mocks my memory, thank you).

course, I know I know not 1 / 100 of the terraces of the city, so if you know of owls, west and elsewhere, do not hesitate to let me know!

Moreover, even if some are dinosaurs, architecture known by most of you, in Tokyo, keep in mind that this blog is also the intention of our French friends came to us and that viste No, they do not know maybe or Sign Casita ...

So here we go.

DAY IN

The Best:

- I have already spoken and even if the place has changed since (the name escapes me at time but it's yours "Sports Cafe" I believe) the terrace of Laplace although not very original, is nevertheless a must. Bright, large and free of cars, rare performance in Tokyo.

-For a sunny terrace HYPER (Full dodger ...) Roppongi Hills has two restaurants right next to the concert ticket ... I just have to find the names, we do not laugh.

- SIGN Daikan Yama was opposite the station. The terrace (which has the distinction of being non-smoking) is very pleasant to watch the parade daikanyamaesque.

- XEX : by day or night in Bali to believe (a little at least) in mid Daikan Yama.

- Birthday on Omotesando to see and be seen by the shopper and tourists.

- TY Harbor : a little (lot) in the middle of nowhere, blind in general and not necessarily super refined dishes but this place has the merit of having a large terrace on the water (just like the one on the channel to the French Institute, except that the water evokes least one giant sewer ...)

The least obvious:

few places-but only a small terrace in front of shack of Zucca (not the pastry, just one behind) is pretty isolated and pretty nice.

- Cafe TF B : Accessible via the second floor of Laforet (street or behind), this small cafe serves drinks and creative dishes and offers some seats on the terrace ideally located.

EVENING

The Best

- Casita , well, everybody already knows, is not it? and the terrace next to the Monsoon, has anyone tried?

- Laputa even fight.

- Crystal Lounge for a drink in the decor a bit bombastic.

The less obvious

-For dining in summer, I always find that
Den located on the roof of the Parco is a good solution (weekdays instead).
Nice decor, reasonable prices for a hyper izakaya in good order.
Warning think of a good book but the terrace.
