新豊橋 - part VI - Reality Check

Blessed Followers of the Cult of Dorothy

I bid you good evening, or konbanwa (こんばんわ)

Well. That was a fucking experience. Thought I'd wander round at night to get some cool night photos. That was a fucking experience... did I say that already ?  Yes. Yes I did. I might even say it again... nah, perhaps not.

So far my experience here has all been mountains, vending machines and Shinkansen; a most definitely rosy view of the world. Every time I've been out at night into town, I've gone with my brother (my local ain't in town). But this time, going alone was quite a different kettle of asparagus.

I guess it's very easy, too easy in fact, to get all caught up in the romantic aspect of a place and situation and can quite easily occupy happy bunny fluffy laa laa land, where everything's kittens and puppies and candy floss. You know, I think this reality check was just what I needed. I don't think I like happy Lee. He's weird and kind of creepy. Well that's quite enough of talking about myself in the third person... A sign of too much beer, perhaps. No, fuck that. Never. Not enough beer. The sign of too much beer would probably be vomit. Or fat birds.

So I would definitely say that I prefer just uploading videos, y'know. I guess that makes me a vlogger. Stupid word, should probably capitalise the 'v'. Either way, vlogging sounds a damn sight better than blogging. Sounds a bit like flogging... ooh, flogging.

So I think I'm best placed to let these vids speak for themselves. I really do rate them over the pics, but pics are cool in their own right. I think I'll put the pics I grabbed in a separate post.





















I don't think Hirokoji dori is my favourite street any more...
