CDO Tokyo. Full disclosure, the above photo was taken for a guest teacher, not for me.
It's been a few days here in Tokyo already, and to be honest I haven't done a whole lot of sightseeing yet.
On Thursday and Saturday I dropped into CDO Tokyo. Their capoeira style is "similar" to my group's, in the sense that certain movements kind of exist in both. In actuality, it felt fundamentally different. For example, a lot more emphasis was placed on backbend escapes and kicks, which we touch upon in Quintal but not nearly as much.
Besides that, I met up with two friends of mine living in Tokyo. The first, Akane, and I went to a barbecue place, specializing in those weird organs Americans would never eat. What we ate included chicken heart, cow tongue, and cow stomach, but the only thing we had that was new was cow breast. Today I hung out with a friend Jinyoung, and the two of us went and ate blowfish. Tastes a bit like octopus but not as tough. So far not dead, I'll see.
The air here is really dry, and resultingly I'm really dehydrated. For the second and third night, despite having 2-3 drinks and not even getting drunk, I had a massive hangover after.
