I have to apologize for the lack of pictures. The first couple months you're here you go out and take pictures like crazy and then after that you just don't seem to bother anymore. Now that I'll be posting a lot more again (hopefully) I'll make an effort to get some crazy japanese pictures. They are after all, the only redeeming quality to this blog! I usually don't carry my camera around with me but I always have my phone with me so you might see phone camera shots more than anything. Especially since I can send the pics to the comp through infrared which is a lot more convenient than hooking up the old camera via USB.

As you probably know by now, nothing amuses me more seeing terrible translations and other forms of Engrish. The bigger and more "official" the source, the funnier it is. For example, there's nothing quite like having a huge storewide sale and spelling the word bazaar wrong on all your posters and banners.

Japanese Fact #2
There are no garbage cans in Japan. That's right, they can make a robot that looks and acts like a human but they have yet to invent the metal cylinder with an opening at one end. Go ahead and buy one of those weird coffee drinks at one of the 3 trillion available vending machines in my neighborhood but God help you if you do because you will be carrying that can around all bloody day.
