How Opaque is my Valley?
Iris? Not as in the colour….more like surrounding your retina.
Okay. Forget Ophthalmology — welcome to Don Quixote.
In search of something–it’s probably on floors one to five…..
Lenses? Wanna make those brown eyes blue? Well Lady Dulcinea,….they are probably on the first floor.
Interesting selections of hues to brown down and turn more western in a pastel sense.
The scores of stock are Sized to Asian eyes (and yes, there is a difference) and the selection is vast.
Now, how accurately you can see anything after insertion remains to be seen. But who cares?
Of course, with the current trends in Tokyo, your eyelashes alone may prohibit any vision. It’s kind of like wearing venetian blinds.
Enjoy

Do you live in Tokyo Full Time now? I know you used to live in New York or Florida, but that was years ago. We met at Decades.

Hi–Thanks for your comment!
Yes, (ee-ee) I now live in Tokyo full time.
Culture Shock vs. Gaijin Slam.
Personally, It’s been a Challenge–particularly attempting to pare down my personal effects (clothes …shoes ….BAGS), but I have done (kicking and screaming)there is basically NO closet or storage space, so unless I want to wear all my possessions at once there really was no other option for me.
I find that less is more (room, anyway).
The language has truly been a ‘360-Rosetta-Stone-Be-Damned’ mind altering experience, but with two years plus under my belt and a full year ‘in situ’….I think I can at least communicate fairly directly (and more importantly INdirectly–as the case may be)
The food? Well, at least My cooking is less important than the ingredients—for example Sushi, where the only real requirement is the highest quality, freshest catch.
I miss being in touch with some Americana, but Tokyo is not the “FAR” east that it once was….and there is a large ex-pat community. The bottom line: Home is where the Heart is. And, MINE is HERE.
