Lost_Witness and HelKat
We have returned from Tokyo!

HelKat: Oh, fellow Habbos! It was so exciting! The Tea Ceremonies.. The sights, the sounds! The MODELLING! That's right - you're very own HelKat and Lostie tried out modelling and I think it's fair to say Lostie is better at it than I am, unless you're looking for a little tea-pot! (I thought that would appeal to the Japanese, they understand the importance of Tea but I think they just thought I was getting that good luck Cat statue pose wrong!) Johnny was a most generous host; we saw sights, tried new food, well, mainly Lostie tried the food; a lot of fish, I experimented with all the various teas instead! We got to visit a real modelling agency's studio and also go 'on location' with Johnny as he insists armpits look their best in natural surroundings!

We met Sumo Wrestlers, Ninjas and attempted to learn how to shave a peach with a samurai sword - don't try that at home, kids!
But mostly it was just wonderful to get away for a weekend and make some new friends.. Oh, who am I kidding, it was all about the Tea Ceremony for me! We did go to this very cool and creepy temple too, it wasn't popular with the locals but I can't think why - it was beautiful and so peaceful, nice and cool compared to a lot of places - it's funny, I don't think I've ever been to an ancient temple with air-con before!
http://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_images/Japan/sumo_thumb.png (http://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_images/Japan/sumo_pic.png)The only disappointment of our trip was not being able to bring back any sushi for Heidster and Redtiz - something which I got a bit of an earful about! I think they should be thankful really though; it probably wouldn't have been very good after the long journey back - I know I don't feel quite myself yet, must be jetlag. Thankfully I have an exciting afternoon ahead - Lostie and I are going to explore your Japan rooms to find the best representations of Tokyo and Japan or the Japanese way of life so we can share our wonderful holiday with you all! In fact I think it's almost that time, I'd best nip off and make a cuppa, this jetlag's getting worse!

http://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_images/Japan/japan_sumo2_002.gifLost_Witness: That's right everyone, we have already started searching the Japan Tours Navigator floor in search of your rooms and have linked to a few locations already including a beautiful waterfall, an old fishing village and a sumo wrestling ring! We aren't stopping there though. If you continue to add your Japanese themed rooms to the dedicated Navigator floor, we will continue to link the most unique and well themed rooms that we can find.
If it's inspiration that you require then I will fill your heart's desire with a quick round up of some of the other activities we got up to in Japan. As a big fan of technology and gaming I felt the need to visit a few shopping centres and gaming halls. Traditionally this would very much so be a HelKat thing to do (shopping!) but for once we were both agreed that gawping at things we couldn't afford nor figure out how to work (let alone work out what they actually did) was a grehttp://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_images/Japan/japan_ninja_lostwitness.gifat way to spend an hour while waiting for our bus to the docks.
The Sumida River Cruise was stunning although HelKat did start to feel a little ill during the boat trip - apparently from the choppy waters but I'm sure it was from drinking too much tea during the special ceremony! She soon felt better though once I pointed to all the crocodiles that were in the waters around the boat...! Later that day we saw the Great Buddha at Kamakura and even had time to get up close to Mt. Fuji, although admittedly we did not climb up it!
All in all a fantastic trip even if we did have to visit that creepy ancient temple!
We will be spending lots of time visiting and exploring your Japanese rooms this week. All you need to do is add them to the special dedicated Navigator Floor - Japan Tours! Show off your room, explore other Habbos rooms, link to your favourites and create your very own trip to the far East. HelKat and I look forward to seeing you there!
I almost forgot to say, keep an eye out for some great NEW additions to the Asian section of your catalogue throughout this week.
