Sofitel Tokyo Hotel

Sofitel Tokyo Hotel

Today I just found out that this hotel is no more. I did not stay at this hotel, nor did I even get close to it. But it is still a symbol of my trip to Japan. I like many others have this building etched into our memories as a reminder of Tokyo and Ueno Park. Next time (if ever) I return to Tokyo and Ueno park (My Japan) this scene will be gone. Lost for eternity in an ever changing Japan. The next time I visit Shinobazu Pond and would like to snap some pictures of the surrounding buildings Sofitel will be no where to be found. Hotel Kojimu will apparently fill the void that has been left by the demolition of Sofitel Hotel Tokyo. Maybe I will stay in this new hotel next visit, to reclaim some lost memories that I never had....

Hack or Slash?

Well I am doing my normal surfing on the internet, and check my Jaiku to see whats up. I notice from my own blog that there was some posts about some 'unsavory' things. I was a bit confused at first but was not so sure if maybe something had just gone awry on the Jaiku side of the world. Upon going to my blog I noticed that there were indeed some 'unscrupulous' posts that were not done in my name. They did have a header of RE: (insert adult natured things for sale on the internet). A picture of a fair looking maiden with nothing on other than a Santa hat and a string of pearls. Although I really don't have much problem with the photo. The main fact that I did not put it there or the content about adult enlargement was not posted by me. And it had to go. I guess if I were going to sell such items (or services) I would do it the traditional way and spam the crap out of the planet. And not post it on my blog that is 'fairly' family friendly. 13+ would be the rating I think. But alas in the pursuit of money I cannot bring my self to a low as low as that.
