Girls in Heels in Shinjuku or (Big in Japan III)

Yes, Japanese girls are usually not that tall… but they do everything possible to appear bigger by wearing sky high heels and short skirts which doesn’t make it easier for them to keep walking elegantly…

Shopping trousers in Tokyo or (Big in Japan II)

My wardrobe needed some upgrading with regards to trousers – trekking pants plus 1 pair of jeans was simply inappropriate. So off we went to uniqlo the famous Japanese budget clothes store. However after checking the sizes available….. i started to feel very big. They regularly don’t have jeans bigger than 25”…. which is i believe a EU 34. After making my way through all the floors I found some chinos from the uniqlo special edition designed by French designer Inès de la Fréssange and luckily the biggest one of them was size 67cm which was just a perfect fit! So if you need trousers in Japan, make sure you don’t eat too much tempura beforehand… unless you do fit comfortably in a EU 36!

New York Bar or ‘Big in Japan I’

Going big in Japan in the famous New York Bar at the Park Hyatt. The bar which probably shares the most stunning view with their guests  making their way up to this stylish ‘refuge’ on 52nd floor. This place got famous around the globe in the movie Lost in Translation as Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray would get caught in timeless conversations there.
