what jacket did you end up buying?

heading to hong kong this weekend to meet up with finance brus.

[pompadork]

Something from north face standard. Contemplated a NF Junya coat but all were too big on me.

Are there any good stores that sell eyewear? I've been looking (perhaps not hard enough) and to no avail.

I want Jill Sanderrrrrrrrrrrrrr shirt

Like sunglasses or eyeglasses? You are not looking hard enough.

Do you want domestic or imports?

You should try out facial index, optical cradle, Lloyd, and that fancy place in roppongi hills.

Literally there are hundreds of optoins.

[djrajio]

Roppongi Hills - Estnation

Midtown and AO Aoyama - Eyevan

Omotesando - Cradle

Ebisu - Continuer

Shinjuku - Isetan Mens

Hands down the best optical shop i've been to in the world is a place called Globe Specs in Shibuya. The owner is a bit of a eyewear legend in Japan and designs glasses for many Japanese brands and their in-house line is amazing, especially for the price.

[herpsky]

the current pair i have is from Hakusan. Brown clear-ish frame. Wellington-ish half frame.

i also have a very salaryman metal frame from 999.9.

my sunglasses are effector phaser 2s from cradle.

HAKUSAN is the best.

[pompadork]

Weird, was thinking of going to globe specs today.

[xArtlessartx]

Thanks everyone, I'll probably go check out Globe specs and cradle since I'm off tomorrow and Friday.

And I was looking for mainly sunglasses, but I'll be looking for eyewear soon since my eyes are getting bad.

[pompadork]

Bought frames from globe today. The (owner?) is really nice.

[herpsky]

cutler and gross <3 <3 <3

that's def. my next pair.

[pompadork]

Also walked by some glasses place called Walls in Harajuku today? looked okay.

lol

[xArtlessartx]

Going to hold back on buying sunglasses for now.. I was saving up for a pair of Tom Fords, but I'll just buy some shoes instead. That and Muji is having a sale

[pompadork]

lol

That bad? I didn't go in so !?(ï½¥_ï½¥;?

[herpsky]

You have a lot to learn, bru

[pompadork]

Gomen 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

Whatever I'm fine with my globe spec yellow point frames though have to wait until I get back in Kanada for lenses.

Went to akiba today, pretty gross. And this coming from someone who likes most of that sadlife shit. Going to Kyoto for 3 days tomorrow peacu.

[herpsky]

I was at Yodobashi earlier. I don't think Akihabara is all that gross. I think there were lots of class A otakus (including myself) out on the streets today.

[djrajio]

Told Yoshi to take care of you in HKG herpsky.

[herpsky]

yeah, i talked to him on line.

hopefully, saturday will be epic.

apparently, inoue-san (you must know him?) is coming too.

[djrajio]

Oh man. Inoue-san is also going? Jesus its gonna be epic then. Inoue-san is a bit crazy.

[herpsky]

chyeah

they are going to velvet (bar) then heading off to a fancy club with lots of sleazy girls

[djrajio]

Heh. Yoshi told me he was gonna be dedicated to his new gf. Can't change a tiger's stripes. Have fun man. But the quality is really bad in HKG so be prepared. It ain't Tokyo.

[djrajio]

BTW, Seiya is having a home party on the 24th. You should come herp.

[herpsky]

Yeah, I'm def coming. Just got to HK. It's 1am. I dunno if I should even go out. So late... And I have no clue where anything is.

[Matay]

Sorry for hijacking, but I need some help.

I got an internship in Tokyo for 2 months and need to find a furnished or serviced apartment to stay at.

Nothing big, just a studio or 1BR.

Does anyone know anything reasonably priced?

Or what areas would be good?

The internship is in Roppongi...so closer is better, but I was thought maybe Kichioji might have some better priced places since it's a university town?

[raddy]

There's stuff like http://www.tokyoapartments.jp/ and http://www.space-d.co.jp/en/

Both are gaizin targeted (and priced)

[herpsky]

Hk was dope.

We (of course) took a trip to Macau. Epic.

[djrajio]

Details please.
