Skies had that strange surrealistically yellow color that you usually get before storms… I’d keep asking Nordine if he didn’t think there was something strange about the sky color, and he’d look at me as if I had completely gone insane and was about to start chasing imaginary bats away. [needless to say, when I took the picture, it came out a rather ordinary blue]
It all started innocently enough with a kawaii-themed photo shoot…
Then things got a little… out of hand.

Tokyo Tower: Perhaps the most prominent example of modern “Japanese Touch”… that incredible instinct to improve on old concepts and go just one step too far…
E.g.: take the Eiffel Tower, a concept with a somewhat proven viability… add 13 meters and drop it in the middle of Tokyo, so far so good… Then paint it a pattern of red and white stripes… You got the Japanese Touch…
I mean, I can so totally picture the Japanese construction engineer uncovering, at the time, the plan for the new and improved Eiffel Tokyo Tower: “And now, you see, ladies and gentleman, we have increased its visibility by 3200%… by turning it into a giant lollipop!”
I posted a pic of this sign, a while back…
Trying hard not to laugh at the evocation of how this inscrutable piece of wisdom may have descended upon the guys who first wrote the sign (picturing the scene where a dirty gaijin tells the cashier he’ll be right back and gets the hell out).
After yet another sand bath the campers are homeward bound on a jetfoil. Good timing as the rain has set in.
Back to reality well rested and eager to return to this quiet oasis.
