Difficult Lunch

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

How can one have lunch peacefully when he’s surrounded by difficult books! >< Well, instant brazilian chicken noodles, royal milk tea and a rice triangle. That’s how. ^^

One Expensive Banana

Due to the overwhelming response I got from my previous post "One Expensive Durian", I've decided to make a sequel! I present, for your visual enjoyment, "One Expensive Banana"! Yes, it's ¥179 for each sweet banana (スイートバナナ) from the Phillipines! I wonder if they know their one banana is fetching such a high price over here in Japan. ^^

Japanese McDonalds Burgers

Monday, July 28th, 2008

I was digging through my photo library tonight. Guess what I found. Photos of burger wrappings! How exciting. ^^ Here’s something some of you probably will never find in your local Mcdonalds. McPork. Cheap burger. ¥100.


This one is alittle on the premium side. You know “filet-o-fish”? Well, this “filet-o-shrimp”. Or, “ebi filet”. Ebi (えび) is Japanese for shrimp. Look closely at the pinkish wrapper. Do you see ebi-chan (えびちゃん)? She’s probably one of the more popular models in Japan right now. Who is Ebi-chan?


Two photos of ebi-chan down here. Nothing NSFW ^^

Update: High res anessa pics after the click. At the request of the gordonator. Enjoy ^^



More of Tamiya Racing

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Just more photos from my previous Tamiya post. I published that on the go. Photo quality not that savvy ^^. Here are some more high res pics. See the “starting track” in the first pic? ^^ Also got some other shots from lunch and watermelons!


Some photos from lunch. ¥980 each.



That’s the restaurant right there. Yakiniku (焼肉) restaurant.


Watermelons and more watermelons. Summer’s here isn’t it. ^^


I wrote about the Tamiya Plamodel Factory many suns and moons ago. Today (when the photo was taken), Fuji TV was interviewing the “Master”. Looks like we’ll see him on TV soon.

Tamiya Racing Lives!

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

If you thought tamiya racing was only a trip down memory lane and isn't around in this modern age, think again! Look at the number of kids who have come to particiate in this race! Still have your super fast avante with hyper-dash engine lying around somewhere? ^^

Update: check here for more photos. ^^

Funky Scissors

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

I have always liked this pair of scissors. Lots of muscle ^^. Reminds me of Edward. Haven't convinced myself that I need it all that much, so it's still hanging by the shelf. What about you? Think you can put it to good use?

Ok… a mistake in the title. Mistakes are never fun. But they are sure fun to watch ^^.
