Tuesday night around 10 ish on the yamanote line in tokyo. The good news is nobody tried to steal his phone.

Another inteteresting shop name! This was taken at a station called nisshin on the kawagoe      line

I stayed in this cheap and slightly nasty hotel in chofu. I think the promotional pamphlet should have read ‘for your benefit’…

The common ‘r’ and ‘l’ problem. .

That jerk of a chicken!

Would you believe Calpis (pronounced ‘Cow Piss’) is a milk flavored drink? Actually its closer to a watery yogurt flavored drink and tastes really good. How Calpis got through as a name for a milky drink is beyond us though. There are other varieties of this such as Calpis Water, Calpis Soda and Hot Calpis.

These series of Nissin Cup Noodles are classics!

Nisshin Cup Noodle ad from Arnie

Arnie’s V Energy drink commercials! These are pretty good. Arnie deliberately has to say the ‘V’ like the Japanese do which makes the ads even funnier.

Interesting Japanese game show

Treadmill game in Japan

This game of rock, scissors paper (Janken) stars Japanese comedy duo Downtown, Matsumoto and Hamada. Hamada is the one playing Janken. The girls are from a popular girls ‘talent’ group called Morning Musume. He may be acting but it certainly looks real….

Awesome Mikado Pocky Ad
