Demae channel (出前チャンネル). The home delivery channel on the Wii! Started not too long ago and there’s quite a selection to choose from. You need to input your address and contact details the first time you turn this channel on. It will then search it’s database for shops servicing your area. Pretty neat right. ^^.

Just another random night shot with an orange crescent moon.

Another random night shot. It’s fun taking photos outside late at night. Cool breeze in your hair and everything feels so much slower. You can take your time playing around with the camera settings, no hustle and bustle associated with day time. Although it depends on where you are loitering around late at night, it’s generally pretty safe everywhere in Japan. ^^. Not so in many other countries that I’ve lived in. Especially if you’re going to be lugging around a big camera at night.

I’ve really come to appreciate how safe Japan is. It doesn’t mean you don’t have to be careful though. Always practice the usual precautions. ^^.

Found this interesting piece of Engrish at the local ¥100 store. ^^.
A chunk of soap-holding rubber with lots of suction cups = Sucker Sorp Holder.

Visited a Disney Store recently. Which is your favorite Winnie the Pooh character? You gotta have one. I tend to like Eeyore the Donkey. During my visit, I also found the answer to one of life’s many mysteries.

Is Piglet a he or she?

For drivers.

Kirin has the first alcohol-free beer and it sells for ¥370. Doesn’t that cost more than a regular beer?

This particular one tastes like crap. Forgo alcohol if you have to drink this. Stay with juice.
