Ladies and Gentlemen .. hold onto your futons and flowerpots! You are about to witness the largest home center (and maybe store) you have ever seen and can possibily imagine .. guarenteed. “How can you guarentee this, you ask?

I was in Virgin Records in Kitasenju and almost relived one of the most horrific experience in my life (which was unavoidable last month at one of my favorite stores in Shibuya called Tokyu Hands …yes, its Tokyu with a ‘u’.)

I have eaten (and love) live octopus, fish head and eye balls, and even the ever so uncomfortable public bath (at a beautiful Japanese onsen hotspring .. but the ONE thing that I have avoided at any cost … is using the public toile (toilet). This is a tricky topic to comfortably expound on .. but wow, you haven’t fully experienced life without an awkward toilet venture or 3.
