Worth a watch

Tonight I am off to a club in Roppongi that plays western R&B. Usually it is not my thing, and I am preparing myself for an evening of debauchery and other manly pursuits.

This is worth a watch

time to party!

Is that the place with an unusually high rate of disembowelments?

They do have a Samurai Museum, great place. The tour guides there are really good will answer any question you have, will dress you up in full samurai gear though the helmet may be a bit heavy for men with a pencil neck.

If you really want to enjoy "culture", I suggest heading to Kabukicho, the kings cross (in it's prime) of Japan if there is such a thing. Obviously after heading from the Golden Gai and meeting the locals in quaint, intimate bars overflowing with yama... whisk... liquor.

Cheers!

n 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Mbembe was walking through the Taronga Zoo with his teenaged son.
As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mbembe' s legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly .

It wasn't the same elephant.

Now hang on a second, two years ago you told us the same story but the bloke's name was Peter Davies. I'm beginning to doubt its historical accuracy.
