Video update, and Korean BBQ fun!

Had Korean BBQ for dinner. It was fantastic!

Went for a walk around the 'hood

At many restaurants, they have plastic models of the food. Creepy at first, until you realize you can't read the menu at all...

Lunch

At times you can almost forget you're in a foreign country...

But then, it's made blatantly obvious again. Dig the taiko drumming game....I should have played it!

Even in the public washrooms, you can still squirt your bum (if this doesn't really make any sense, check out my first post...)

"Thomas was a little concerned when the new neighbours moved in..."

I like this picture...I can't believe this actually exists...

More line-ups for bad food...

Across from the hotel

My hotel, the Navios

Signage

From the World Series coverage in Japan....man they love Matsui!

Seen in the elevator at the Navios Hotel

Brutally honest, what they think of Americans....ouch

McD's...of course, there's tons of people there!

ha ha ha...

Also lots of people at KFC. A line-up out the store!

hmmmm...I'm not sure if they know the colloquial meaning of "loose"

Some Japanese Scenery, and an update...

Tokyo electronics store. Incredibly colourful!

The front door of the restaurant we ate at...and our GIANT beers

Tokyo at night

Pachinko is this gambling thing that's HUGE in Japan. It's like slots, but involves these tiny ball bearings. I'm going to try it one of these days...

Japanese cab...sweet ride!

Tokyo subway around 10 pm. Packed, and dig the surgeon's mask on the lady in the middle. I'm not sure yet why people where those, but they freak me out a little...
