Some poledancing action

Ok so New Year was in Japan. Had a wonderful new year eve dinner and counting down in an Izakaya, before heading to a temple for new year prayers and look around.

In the temple, there are night markets selling food and new year goods.

I'm somehow more interested in the food they offer.

Saw some Sumo Wrestlers. Well I think I'm almost as buff as they are. Its the jacket.

I had made a trip down to Mio's Pole Dance studio Artflow, owned by World Famous Nagata Lu. And took a trial lesson.

I must say I really admire the ladies doing pole dance. It requires so much energy and arm power and grip power. Basically it uses every single muscle on your body.

My sloppy 'one lesson performance' in a more feminine manner. Hope you like it :)

I forgot to add that I had one of the largest oyster in my life at Mio's favourite Oyster Bar. Her pole dance instructor Nalu (who taught me the sole lesson as well) found a crab in her oyster. It was said that it isn't uncommon to find live crabs in fresh oysters. But it would be nice if you can find pearls in it.

Next stop, Niigata. Its the first time I see snow and touch snow in my life. See whats my reaction
