We’re in an interesting position here in Tokyo.  We’re filming a show in one of the most modern, bustling, and fascinating cities to ever exist.  At the same time we’re broke.  Not head out early for the lunch special and matinee broke, but everyone shares a bulk  bag of rice three meals a day for 2 weeks broke.  This brings us to where we are now.  Part of our job is to film interesting things in the city, so we try and make it to whatever events we can find.  And at these we often meet people who are interested in our story, what we do, and then want to show us something else amazing.  So we get invited to more events.  As we see more and more of these experiences we eventually get to place where we’re receiving invites to some pretty outrageous events but barley able to afford the train fare out there.

The perfect example of this was our past week. We struggled through trying to find ways to afford rice and make it palatable, but then as the weekend neared we got to head out to events like the opening of a flagship Bisazza store.  A brand of luxury mosaic titles (not kidding, such things are real).  As well as some private galley openings.

So that’s were we are now.  We’re at events with all you can drink top shelf champagne more often then we are sitting down to a meal that involves healthy quantities of meat.  It certainly is an interesting life.
