We’ve been in Los Angeles, California for a number of days now. The jet-leg is over (at least we are not waking up in the middle of the night anymore 🙂 and we’ve had a chance to see a number of interesting things. I won’t go into too much detail about the normal tourists things, but we’ve seen/done/been to: Beverly Hills, Hollywood Blvd, Walk of fame, Hollywood sign, Sunset Blvd (Sunset Strip), Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Mulholland Drive (by night), Rodeo Drive and Little Tokio.

Now this last is where I want to let you know a little more about.

We have been in contact with Master “K” close to ten years now. The contact has always been through email and conversations have mainly been about Japanese bondage, traditional Japanese bondage; kinbaku. Master “K” is living in Los Angeles and is working on his second book about the art. When we said we would be in LA a date was set to finally meet each other in real life, talk kinbaku, drink green tea, do bondage and eat a delicious Japanese diner.

The discussion about kinbaku was wonderful, gaps I had for years about historical facts where finally filled with the proof I needed from his vast library of books and resources. There are still gaps I like to see filled. If I was able to read Japanese I might be able to fill these gaps myself, for now I think I have to wait until we meet Master “K” again. There is only so much you can discuss in one afternoon. Especially if there is “work” to be done. His second book is close to being finished and we couldn’t (wouldn’t 🙂 say no to the invitation of having Chantal be a part of the second book… bound and gagged in two very traditional positions and bondage.

We have quite a number of photo’s of the day with Master “K” but we won’t be showing any, Master “K” is a very private person and the pics for the book are meant for the book. So, you are going to have to take my word for it that the day with “K” was wonderful and some of the pics can be seen in his new book.

Now it’s off to Vegas… Baby!
