Insect Invasion
I grew up in Tucson, Arizona among Cicadas and Crickets making all kinds of noise but THIS! this noise in Japan is bordering on ridiculous.

Others sound like a cackling old … Continue reading Insect Invasion

Let's see...we went to Tokyo last weekend to watch a friend who does the score board for the local roller derby team. I do enjoy watching these matches, these girls are tough and skilled.
