Tokyo Blond Is Not Porn

Tokyo Blond is not a porn blog, about hair or even, as one pithy friend remarked, a micro beer or late 1980s glam metal band ("Dude, I just saw Skid Row and Tokyo Blond opened and played a killer set").


The purpose of this blog is to chronicle my experiences in Tokyo - poignantly, visually, irreverently - for fun.


Anybody can tag along...that is if I like you. This blog will endeavor to be entertaining and honest and frequent enough to keep those following interested including me.

"Jambaron" aka Jimbaron Bay

We left the Sayan property with a little trepidation, not knowing what we'd find at the Jimbaron property, hoping it would be just as nice.  Plus we weren't really looking forward to the hour ride through the trash and stray dog encrusted villages along the way.  Russell was smart; he napped.   

When we got there we were pleasantly surprised to find, while different, it was a nice change of scenery from the Sayan property.  And for a moment I was glad we had decided to visit both Bali Four Season properties.

The view from the lobby was grand.

Uh yeah, this will do.

We were greeted with fresh flowers and cool drinks, similarly to the Sayan introduction.  A couple of adorable Balinese girls, about seven or eight, in colorful, traditional sarongs kneeled on a colorful throw making exotic flower bouquets.  Hmmm, I wonder what the legal working age is in Bali.  They walked over shyly and presented me with a beautiful mini bouquet and a smile.

A golf cart ferried us to our room.  The layout was reminiscent of a Balinese compound, I thought knowingly, having just learned all about this that morning.

Plunge pool - check
We must install one of these back in Long Beach

Our place in the sun.

Sleeping Arrangements

Now this is nice.  Plus there's the outdoor shower too.
Nothing like showering outside, under the stars.


Welcome gift.

We decided to get something to eat and then lay by the pool.  An excellent plan.


Have hat; will cocktail.

Pretty little water feature.  Must be gorgeous at night when the candles are lit.

A regular.
This guy eats here every day!

The food was good, not as good as Tokyo but it worked.  Afterwards we nabbed a couple of chairs, and a couple of cocktails, by the main pool.

Yeah, this don't suck.
