Somehow I ended up at a Goth party in the early hours of New Years day. The party was pretty cool, and although I was dressed in normal street clothes, no one really cared. Most of the bullshit attitude you find in San Francisco is thankfully absent in Japan. People are just people.

No matter how long I stay here, girls’ fashions still amuse me. A few Japanese goth girls with heavy back eye shadow and lipstick, dressed in black leather and fishnet stockings, and wearing jewelry with spiky bits pointing out every which way, were walking around cuddling white, push stuffed animals.

Ah, now that takes the edge off.

Japanese girls just never put aside the whole cute thing. The picture I took turned out lousy because my cell phone does not have a flash, Yeah, I know, I’m way behind the technology curve.
