Taka the Accordionist

If you have actually bothered to read all my little scribbles throughout this journey you might remember me mentioning how Japanese really get into a foreign sub-culture and embrace it.

Well, Taka-San is a good example. Hailing from Tokyo, Taka had realised his true calling in life was to become a world-class accordion player. So, he's high-tailed it to Paris to soak up the accordion heavy air and learn from the masters. We hung out and I 'vibed-off' his playing. It was a neat afternoon in the Trocadero which - if you ever want to impress a date or propose to your future wife - do it here, looking out to the Eiffel Tower – it is romantic as! It was a shame Taka just wasn't that into me.
