I went out with Nakano-kun last night and we went to a little okonomiyaki place on Teramachi. It was one of those old style, casual and slightly shabby places where you sit on the tatami floor, rather than at a table. What I love about this kind of place is that they always have a poster (or even several posters) of a bikini-clad girl on a beach holding up an immense glass of beer on a skinny little wrist that looks like it’s going to snap with the weight of it. Certainly she doesn’t look like she’s been drinking much beer herself.

I find these posters in their ridiculous catering to male fantasy, absolutely hilarious. But that’s not why I’m posting that picture. The reason I’m posting the picture is that Nakano-kun on seeing this picture said:

“She’s a bit fat, isn’t she?”

And I said: “What?!” And after a pause: “Where?“

“She’s a bit chubby around the waist. She could do with losing a bit of weight there.”

Truly the exacting standards of Japanese men boggles the mind.

Afterwards we went to the inevitable STT. And after Nakano-kun went home I stayed there. And I took some more pictures, of which I’ll share with you below. Just hover your cursor over the pictures for titles or double click for a better look.
