Paris, France on a spring sunday (3/3)

After my explanations and apologies, she accepted more pictures.

Then she confirmed she is a model in Japan.

I forgot to give her my contact details :-(

I would have been happy to offer her my pictures.

Then she started reading her guide about Paris. It concurred my intuition about her nationality: Japanese...


Then, I got too obvious and she noticed me.

Time to go to her and explain myself, right?





Paris, France on a spring sunday (1/3)

I was walking (again!) in the streets of Paris to enjoy spring.


When I suddenly noticed a lady on a bridge...



She kept the same attitude for several minutes, her sight lost in the Paris' spring blue gaze...

Look at me!


Beauty flies... or rides a scooter in the streets of Shinjuku!

I love classic shoes... even dazzling yellow

I was in strolling in the streets of Harajuku with couple 100's people around me when my eyes got caught by these...

Music band : 3 ladies on their way

From the street near Yoyogi Koen... before crossing in direction to Shibuya.


And the black hat lady with an attitude and a wonderful smile!

Maki, Angela

Would you believe that I walked for over two hours from TY Harbour brewery, located in Shinagawa (facing the harbour) to Ebisu (JR station)...? I felt lost but safe : a very strong feeling of freedom. I stopped couple times and checked the direction with two people from a local Koban (police station) to ask for my way. That's how I found that even riding a bike can get you a ticket in Japan!

I followed the very long Yamate Dori with the eyes wide opened. I just love strolling in the streets of Tokyo!

So I reached Ebisu about 5PM. My next meeting was at 6PM so I decided to stop at Starbuck's for a pause and may be indulge myself to a coffee.

But a surprise was there for me. As I entered and looked for a comfortable spot, I noticed the back and the beautiful shiny black long hair of a lady. I got attracted by the color of her skin and the quality of her complexion. I stared at the shoulder (with black stripes and white top) for about 10 minutes. Then decided to sit in front of the lady hoping she would be as beautiful as her skin.

I was not disappointed as she looked up from her Japanese book. I was struck by her beauty and her pure face. Her attitude is graceful and she has gentle moves when she speaks.

She reminded me of a song I heard couple years ago and that made me trip : "when she smiles she lights the sky" by Plant Life.

Eventually I engaged conversation and asked her if I could take pictures of her. After some explanations, she agreed. I left her my contact details (welcome to contact me!).

Then she revealed that she is both a model (I could guess easily) and a pro surfer... With an amazing american accent and the ability to read Japanese! What else can you ask for?

Angela Maki, ladies and gentlemen! She is far more beautiful live than on my pictures ; guess I was a little bit troubled hanashi ga aru dakedo (I tell you).
