Lupin Station Tokyo

Lupin Station Tokyo

Took this at Tokyo Dome City. There’s quite a number of Lupin collectibles available at this store. I like Lupin and his gang. Although my favorite anime is Castle of Cagliostro, my eyes always light up when Fujiko’s on screen. ^^.

Beats by Dr. Dre – Tour

beats 1

I have a problem. Apple standard issue earphones never fit my left ear. It slides and totally ruins the listening experience. Do you have the same problem? In the past, I used those black cushiony things that wrapped around Apple standard issue earphones. Those really helped. Alas, I ran out of those black cushiony things.

Irritated that those earphones “no longer fit”, I went in search for one that did. And my search ended with this.

Beats by Dr. Dre. Tour.

My PhD Graduation

phd grad 1

Was a little late for the general ceremony in the main hall. The President of the University gave us all an inspiring commencement address before we were all sent to our respective graduation ceremonies.

Graduations for every school within the university are held on a single day in Japan. Back in UNSW where I did my bachelors, different schools held their graduations on different days. What is it like for you?

Obama Figures

Obama superheroes

Saw these on the shelf recently going for ¥3980 each. So what do you reckon?

Is POTUS Barack Obama a Jedi or a Kryptonian? Mace Obama or Obamaman?

Japanese Koban

Out on patrol

A Koban (交番) is a police box in Japan. It’s like your neighborhood police station but only miniaturized, very miniaturized. The officers stationed here are currently out on patrol. But one is free to use the phone inside.

I don’t think you’re allowed to make overseas calls though. ^^.
