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. I'm told these are Cicadas as well but I'm pretty sure the Japanese variety have megaphones. Some sound like normal Cicada noise just amplified. Others sound like a cackling old … Continue reading Insect Invasion

Trick Or Treat and… Ted?
Yes, I know it's July. This is a cool little restaurant right in the middle of Roppongi (the happening night life part of Tokyo) which is decorated rather like a horror show. There are candle chandeliers hanging from a black ceiling, dark wood furniture and some horror film characters set about. … Continue reading Trick Or Treat and… Ted?
Week One – Re-Charge
Time to get serious about being happy!

It still feels kind of like an underground sport which has it's pros and cons. Not a lot of people come … Continue reading What Have I Done Lately?

Japanese Snacking Adventure
Just got back from 7/11 - don't laugh, they are not the convenience stores we have in the states. These are convenience stores to the epic degree. They have bento box lunches and snacks/candies galore! As stated in an earlier post I am going to try difference snack type things while in Japan. Most of … Continue reading Japanese Snacking Adventure
Japanese Candy and Snack Experience
I decided with all of the different snacks and candies in Japan, most which have no English on the packaging, to try each one. This one has a strange flavor. Definitely not sweet. And has a powdery coating. It isn’t bad but not sure I will buy this again. If you know what I just … Continue reading Japanese Candy and Snack Experience
