We all need a little junk food every now and then. Are burgers still considered junk food? There are still fast.

Ever wondered how part-time hourly rates go in Japan?
McDonalds pays anywhere from ¥800 (high schoolers) to ¥1065 depending on which timeshift you take. Includes 30% meal discount.
Japan’s most wanted
March 3rd, 2010
Most foreigners I know living in Tokyo are extremely grateful for the low crime rate. I know I am.
The little things, like leaving your belongings on the table while you go order at the counter, leaving your handphone on the table while you eat etc., are very common occurrences. Anywhere else, I’m pretty sure things left out of sight will just simply disappear into the great unknown. Never to be seen again.
Although it really is safe and comfortable living here, I’m always vigilant – lest I start taking things for granted.
Saw this outside the Omotesando Koban (Police Box). Missing persons, arson, murder, extremists etc. I do feel pain reading some of these posters…
Thought I’ll help spread the word.
Why can’t we all just get along?
UPS Spam
March 3rd, 2010
Just great. New spam. Imagine my surprise getting an email from UPS when I didn’t send anything their way. I did pause for like 2 seconds to think if I did – side effects of food induced drowsiness.
I was curious. What’s in that zip archive? Something NSFW would definitely help in curing my after lunch sleepiness.
So I clicked and Snow Leopard unzipped.
Alas, it was a .exe file. Off to the trash with you. Good thing those don’t work on a Mac.
Window friends beware. UPS spam is in town.

Our very own stormtrooper was having a radio interview at TBS. Danny was flying lead and I was his wingman.
Chinese sausages
February 27th, 2010
Didn’t consume enough chinese sausages for lunar new year this time around. We usually eat at a family friend’s restaurant, but he has retired since then. And so my consumption this year slumped to just 1 dish.
The term “chinese sausage” is pretty generic. These sausages come in all shapes and sizes – even taste and names! Some are made with pork, others with duck liver and even some with chicken, beef, turkey, mutton and fish!
With the high fat content, these sausages usually don’t do wonders for your health. But the good things in life usually don’t. ^^.
Can you name every chinese sausage in this photo?
If you’re interested in the price, here’s a link to a large image.
Masks in Japan
February 26th, 2010
With spring comes 花粉症 (kafunsyou), also referred to as hayfever. Spring is probably the season where most Japanese don a mask to block out pollen.
While these masks in the photo above are great at what they do, they are old tech.
There is ongoing research at making the perfect mask. Wearing a mask poses several issues – issues like to what extent does the mask protect the wearer, fogging of the glasses and being considered unfashionable.
Need to see it asap. .-=...
you know in the first photo of you and Eri san you both are like from...
