Go to the Tate Modern if you are into Contemporary Art. Wicked place IMHO. Take your whole fam with you.

Try and take the tube as LESS often as you can and perhaps go for buses because you see less of the city (on the tube) and you'll be suprised how fast you can get from one place to the next above ground. Plus you get to see all the nice old things too.

Avoid shopping on Oxford Street on a Saturday and go to Spitalfields and Brick Lane on a Sunday.

Don't get off at Covent Garden Tube Station on weekends (small station and lotsa people)..... get off at nearby Leicester Square station and walk.

I'm just B

Sorta not on the topic the paul and joe website is sooooo pretty!

(They also have a shop listing there too)

Sun Microsystems

I agree with you kiteless.....

Good luck to ya (the dude that wants to set up shop). Just make sure you don't give up your daytime job in the business's infancy.

For Japan you didn't mention Womb. My favourite. www.womb.co.jp. I saw Derrick May there last year. It was great.

Zouk is ok. Nice club, just no vibe.. very mediocre.......

I'm just B

meh so over Tsubi........

Justine Taylor. Made and Hauser are my favourites..

Everything else seems so...same-o same-o

Although Tina Borg is pretty interesting......

I'm sure I've missed out on some really great labels but I can't think of any right now.

edited to add: Yes, I would have to say Lover is great too!

I got most of them stuffed somewhere in my mum's attic. You reckon they'd be worth something now??

we get te galaxy's in syd.au quite often. I do remember the Adidas red n gold one. Not sure if it's around now as it's quite old. I'll get back to you.

Agree with b. Not the best for high end shoes, it's not what you shop here for. However if you don't know Terry Biviano is prob one great Australian high end shoe designer with v. high end prices.

Latest Fashion press

" And of course, the stars of the show, her shoes - a rainbow of colours in satin, snakeskin and muted metallic leathers - made an impression too. Fans, who include Sex And The City's Sarah Jessica Parker and buyers were well pleased.She must be doing something right, convincing hundreds to part with up to $1400 for a pair of her designer heels, which are sold across Australia and in London and Los Angeles."

Newly finished Ryokan, about 8,100 yen per night for 1/2 people. (including tax) it's a 2 minute walk from Minowa station (Hibiya line) Can easily get there from Ueno if you're catching a train from Narita. Very clean, stylish and best of all No Curfew!

I'm definately staying there when I go back...

Womb in Shibuya for techno/electro

That was probably the best place I went to. But check out flyers and local gig guides in boutiques and Tower Records...

From a lesson learnt (and many others would agree with me) transport is a bitch after 11:30pm so plan your night. Either get some accommodation near the venue or be prepared to stay up all night until the next morning!

Transvaal Ave in Double Bay is the home of Belinda which has a lot of import shoes as well.

David Jones and Myer in Pitt St Mall, the city has a small selection of choos, marc jacobs, patrick cox...

The Strand Arcade, also in Pitt St Mall, and around Castlereagh St is also good for high end designer shopping.

Honestly, I don't think Sydney is that great for haute couture shoe shopping though. Unfortunate because I love shoes...

for a day( or two) take a train out towards Kamakura. Get a glimpse of life outside mega Tokyo. Take a wander around the temples that dot the landscape and the the Diabutsu. I was in Tokyo for 2 weeks. Glad I took that little break from it...
