Wondering around the back streets of Asakusa in Tokyo, I stumbled across this very cheerful guy and managed to record his complete performance. Although the video ends a bit abruptly I can assure you that was the end of the painting. It wasn’t the best looking thing in the world, but the guy certainly put on a performance painting it. Enjoy!

Post 250

July 12, 2011 · 8 comments

I originally wrote this as an Aprils fools post, I was going to declare myself as leaving blogging because I didn’t want to do it anymore and was happy with life without it. However being in Japan after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami; it seemed inappropriate to fit in some April fools joke, more serious things needed to be addressed at that time. Then I noticed I was quickly approaching my 250th post so could adapt it somewhat (admittedly 3 months later). I never had a 2 year post, or a year review post in 2010-2011, but the 1/4 mille milestone seemed the next appropriate one to look back at what I’ve achieved since blogging here.

Japanese Lucky Bags

January 18, 2011 · 9 comments

To celebrate new years. In Japan, stores offer lucky bags. Lucky bags are sealed bags with merchandise from the store for sale at a discounted price. Usually the minimum you get is 3-4x the value of the bag inside. So if the bag costs 1000Y, then you will likely get 3-4000Y of stuff inside. If it costs 10000Y, then you can expect 30-40000Y of products inside, often more! Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
