Japanese BeveragesThe original Coca-Cola is still my favourite, but I also love Fantas, especially citrus, pineapple, wild berry, grape and grapefruit. Fanta Melon Soda is quite good too. Too bad there isn't mango Fanta anymore.
Cycling in TokyoMy previous bicycle was stolen. I still have my old bicycle though, but it's so heavy, that I don't enjoy that much using it, especially if there are any uphills. I guess I should get a new one, but during the winter I couldn't use it anyway, so I'll...
Otaku EncyclopediaI saw this book in the bookstore a few weeks ago and bought it immediately. It's a nice book! I like how it's so up-to-date. Most other books like this are already getting old and missing a lot of important things.
A Day in Tokyo 3There are imported JDM cars all over the Europe nowadays. That's correct, that it all begun in the UK, but nowadays they are not so rare anymore and not too difficult to register either. Here in Finland, for example, we have a lot of Skyline GT-Rs an...
A Week in Tokyo 35Danny, here's a nice scale model of Z34: http://www.hlj.com/product/HPR08430. HPI Racing makes really good quality models. I have some of them too.
By the way, why don't you get some Olympus voice recorder? They're small and that USB connector makes...
Japan TravelI can't comment your text below, so I'll write here. There isn't any actual percentage, because there's a fixed fare always included in the price of the gas. Since the price changes anyway, it makes the tax percentage change too. It may sound complic...
Japan TravelBefore those models, which were/are sold in other parts of the world as Lexus, were sold as Toyota in Japan. IS was Altezza, GS was Aristo, LS was Celsior, SC was Soarer and RX was Harrier. But now they're called Lexuses in Japan too. Lexus brand has...
Digital TV in JapanIt's already mentioned twice here, that we have completely digital television here in Finland. It was a big event, and many though it's totally useless and stupid change, but now it's been working fine, and even those people who said that they wouldn...
Breast Enlargement RingtoneI think it was at least a year or two ago, when I heard about this, so not really any big news. I even remember some newspapers writing about this.
Japan Smoking Stats for 2008I don't smoke. I haven't even tried or tasted, and won't do it in the future either. Nowadays here in Finland it's forbidden to smoke in the restaurants and most public spaces. You can smoke at home or outside on the street. Soon it might be so, that...
La Repubblica XLI speak Finnish and English. I can also use Swedish and German, but haven't spoken them that much lately, so I've forgotten something, but still understand quite well when reading or listening to them. At the moment I'm studying Japanese, but progres...
Japanese School Girl SkirtsI saw some really short skirts in Tokyo. And noticed also some McDonald's girls wearing short skirts. Here they all are wearing trousers.
Schoolgirls and Water RocketsBut there are still more differences than similarities. Girl on the left has longer shirt compared to other and it's also differently colored with different kind of neckline. And her skirt is checkered, but others have just plain grayish blue skirts.
Laptop VS DesktopI like laptops. I have only had laptops, and don't think I'd need anything bigger. Since I don't play games with computer, I don't need the most expensive super computer, and on the other hand I like the possibility to take the small laptop anywhere....
Manga Spoils AnimeI never think that reading manga first would spoil the ending of the anime. Besides, they often don't even finish those animes I watch or would like to watch. And in most cases manga, which is original, is far better compared to anime produced later....
