Hot Drinks in JapanI hate ginger with a burning passion!
Only thing I like it in (that I can think of right now) is ginger man cookies. Or ginger snaps. They're both good.
Ive never tried ginger tea though. I might like it. Im sure Id like that drink, cause I love ch...
Good and Bad Ideas in JapanWell Steve, lucky for you, if you were having a heart attack it'd be your left arm that hurt, not your right, so I think you're in the clear!!
But still.. Wow.
Windows 7 Japan LaunchOh trust me. It most definitely is.
It takes what was good about vista, and improves on it, and it takes what sucked about vista, and throws it out the window. ^^
Good Ideas SalonsI was thinking the same thing. All kinds of gadgets and computers running 24/7 sucking up tons of electricity.. Drinking soda and energy drinks all the time, and Im sure not all of us recycle..
I mean.. Im sure we're not a whole lot worse than the g...
Back in JapanNew York. My dad grew up there so we used to visit at least once a year. Even though I never actually lived there, every time I go back I feel like Im going home after being gone a loooong long time.
Apple in JapanHehe, me too!
It just feels so good to build it yourself and turn it on and have everything work perfectly.
Of course then theres those times when everything doesnt work perfectly.. Those are kind of a pain. >_>;
Apple in JapanOr you could get both! o.o
Windows 7 is a dream for me. I had some trouble upgrading when the RC version came out, but since then its been amazing!
Stress in JapanI actually have a package of soba lying around somewhere.. Maybe Ill make it tonight. Not sure what Id put on it though!
Maybe some curry sauce.. Mmm.
Anime MagazinesThats pretty much the only reason I buy them too. Id buy all of those just for the posters, since I don't know much (ok, hardly any) Japanese.
Id sure read them once I learn more though!
Tokyo CafeIndeed!
We have Starbucks here, but I live in a town thats really big on supporting local business, so theres only one (the city literally wont let them open another, it took like 5 years for Walmart to convince them to let them open another store),...
Japanese stationary otakuIm not so much for stationary, but Ive had an unhealthy obsession with pens since I was little. Every time my dad would take me to Walgreens or something like that, I demanded that he buy me a package of pens. At my last job I managed to fill up an...
VocaloidAgreed.
Im almost hoping that it was just the quality of the video that made it sound so horrible. Theoretically, shouldnt a robot be able to sing better than a human? Or at least just as well.. They'd have to record it somehow.. >_>;;
Tokyo EarthquakeIf the ceiling actually fell, I dont think the table would protect you much. o.o
They actually say to stand in a door way since it's the strongest part of the room, and you're less likely to get crushed if the building collapses.
Mirai no Mirai AnimeWell, if I know Danny, and considering the fact that a very good number of DC members are in the USA, I would assume that he'll insist on having it subbed and distributed for us too. =P
I can't imagine him just leaving us out like that!
Vending Machines in TokyoYus! Green tea ice cream needs to be EVERYWHERE.
Also, at an airport I saw a vending machine that sold iPods and all sorts of MP3 players. o.o It also accepted credit cards.~
Vending Machines in TokyoIve seen a few in bars! But thats only cause theoretically you have to be over 18 to be -in- a bar, so they figure its ok to have cigarette vending machines in there. ^_^
Tokyo Bike ParkingI live in a college town, so maybe 10 years ago there was a lot of bicycle usage, but these days all the students are lazy, so they drive Vespa's and other types of motor scooters everywhere. If you go on campus theres scooters parked everywhere. I...
Rental DVD return in JapanDVD rental boxes around here are put in a generic clear plastic case with a super strong thing in the middle that you snap the DVD onto. That way, when you drop it in the box, the DVD won't fall of the thing and get scratched, and if the box gets dam...
Kodomo no JikanA-friggin-greed!
I actually stared at it for a minute, just to make sure it was actually as scary as I thought it was. o_o;
I think I'd have nightmares with that thing starring at me!
But whatever floats your boat I guess. xD
Sweet Potato PieActually, Ive had the green tea ice cream here! I only found it once, but I was sure to snatch it up, and it was amazing!
I definitely want to try this flavor though. @_@; -drools-
Tokyo SushiWe have cheep sushi here, but its likely to make you sick, considering it probably sat in a poorly refrigerated truck for a couple days before getting to us! (I live smack dab in the middle of the US.)
So you have to spend a pretty penny to get GOOD...
