A few random shots
Sorry for the lack of updating but as I mentioned on Twitter, my parents are visiting for 10 days and I don’t have much time for the blog. Of course it’s also a chance for me to get out and about, so I’ve taken quite a few pictures that I’ll be putting here eventually.
For now, here are a couple random shots from my travels so far…
Music from back in the good orld days.
Look out for the cutely drawn raccoons.
The construction zone frog!
15,750 Japanese Yen = (Apx.) 178 USD = 111 GBP = 200 AUD = 121 Euros = way too freaking much. But damn do those look like some fine grapes…
Japanese sometimes translate things too well for their own good. How many westerners are actually familiar with the word alight, I wonder?
Okay, that’s all for this short post. I’m looking forward to getting back to updating nihonshock more regularly, but that won’t be until next week.

British Rail has started using the word “alight” on all their trains over the last few years. It sounds so pathetic; almost as though they are forcing themselves to sound upper-class… Nobody uses that word. Ever.
