Beachin' it
Zushi BeachTis the season to be roasted.
I've never gone to the beach so much in my life. That's saying a lot being that I grew up in Hawaii. I don't think I've ever been more tanned! This year I've been frequenting Zushi beach. Conveniently located just 30 minutes away from my place. The water is just a tad cleaner than Enoshima but the beach is much smaller. Due to the size, there are less girls there too, but the best part is, the hoards of guys that nampa (hit on girls) aren't around. Of course they are there, just not en masse. In the end the eye candy there is much more suited to my taste. Less roasted dark blond teenage gyaru, more of everything I like, with less "competition" going around... oh yeah!
As far as other entertainment, well there's the beach, the water, and the beach houses that line the beach. Nothing special so far. But Zushi beach has got a real live "reality" show being filmed in progress. This year 金スマ海の家(Friday SMAP beach house) is being filmed at a little ice cream shop/beach house called Helmut.
I believe it's a small segment of a weekly variety show called 金スマ (Friday SMAP) on TBS. Something about the life of 3 models working part time at an ice cream place. I don't know the details about the show, I hear this segment will start airing the last half of August or something. But at any rate it was fun talking to the models/actresses when buying ice cream etc. Kind of nerve racking when the cameraman is there recording you. It's bad enough trying to start up a conversation with them in Japanese. On top of that, they look good. Putting a camera in my face while I do it is unbearable. My friend Jon actually went 4 days in a row, bought a ton of ice cream just to get the chances to chat with one of them, and finally, worked up the guts to ask one of them for her phone number. He had to settle for giving her his info instead. No word yet on if she ever called. Ha! Watching him in action 3 of the 4 days sure was entertaining.
Out of the 3, I thought Kizuki was the cutest. She's just SO my type. Good times man. I hope she becomes famous. Then this picture I took of us would be DOPE. I just wish I checked my hair first. Ha! (^_^)

It's OK to be beach bum when you're 20 something but after 30 people start wondering what you are doing at the beach on a weekday. They'll think you're either really rich and retired or a you-know-what with a capital "L"...
That said.. I wish I could spend the entire week in Zushi watching beautiful chicks...ok back to work...
Kuba: It's 30 min by local train.
Lori: That hair was styled by mother nature with lots of salt water and scorching sun.
J: I've never gone from Zushi station. Shin-zushi is on my train line so I use that, but I hear the stations are only like 7 min. apart by foot. But from Shin-zushi use the Minami exit. And there are directions to the beach at the exit! :)
