Fun Stuff

It has been a while since I posted some of the quirky things I run into over here so since I have this week off and I am just sitting around waiting for the baby to arrive, I thought I would put a page on the blog for your enjoyment.
The first shot is of some socks I saw for sale. I don't know how hard they work, but the price was right at 99yen!
The second shot is a shop in our neighborhood. I haven't taken the time yet to find out what it is that they actually do. But then again, maybe it is more interesting if I don't know.
The third shot (GOON!) is of some diapers we got for Sumire. Designed by Gino Odjick I believe. Maybe there is a future for Sumire in hockey!
The fourth picture is a poster I had to share with you. Across the top it says: Attention all blind people!
The fifth picture is a new tobacco ad for Camel. I find it funny that the Marlboro man image has been replaced with a noodle delivering hairy hippie on a 50cc scooter! How cool is that!
The sixth picture was on a fuel delivery truck. You wouldn't see that at home!
The seventh picture is a popular snack food in Japan. I haven't been tempted enuf to try it yet.

The bottom left picture is an example of what old men in Japan do when they aren't playing pachinko. They go to these man made fishing holes and fish. Their fancy gear makes it clear that this is serious business & they aren't just playing around!
The top picture on the right is typical scenery in Tokyo - buildings, elevated highways, and reclaimed land extending into Tokyo Bay.

And the final picture is of the building across the street from the maternity hospital that Yuki goes to. I wonder if the plane actually crashed there and serves as a memorial or if it was put there to compliment the landscaping.
