After a big day in the big Apple I ventured into SoHo to a little Thai restaurant called "Peep." It was pink and fab and just the right place to sip a well deserved martini. "Yeah, so what" you might say. "everyone's been to SoHo." Very true gentle reader. Well this was no ordinary Thai place.
I get directed to the bathroom that is essentially a mirrored wall with a handle. Hmm, that's slightly weird. The entrance is in the middle of the restaurant. Sucks for those people dining right next to it.I cross through into the looking glass (literally) turn around only to see the entire restaurant laid out in front of me.
The mirrors are two way and you can see everyone eating their dinner. Hence the name "Peep." I found this a little too much. There's a TV in the loo giving off light, I was looking for a light switch in case they were going to turn on and everyone would see me. I had a few moments of wondering if this was an elaborate joke.
Well I really needed to go and it was a rather nerve racking experience. I was looking directly into the eyes of people looking in my direction but not at me. I re-entered the restaurant and no one blinked. Not a single reaction from anyone.

Model Citizens
Sheena sprung a surprize model shoot on me. During our jaunt across the bridge a pair of very lovely exchange students who naturally asked for a pic with us. It happens to us a lot. Natch. "Ha" they thought "we'll post this across Japan." Suckers...I've posted it across the world! We also managed to share a cab back to the North side with an Irish backpacker. Anyways, this really has nothing to do with my first blog accept that it's a random thing that happened. Requests taken for retelling of famed stories, bribes accepted for leaving out certain pieces of info, and input always welcome.
