get flustered with one of the sodas with the marble stopper. I've heard they're actually pretty good.

Why would anyone pay 30 bucks for 6. You can get those at any oriental market here in South Carolina for about a buck each.

Jackasses... I want to be there.

Tabloids are saying Mt. Fuji is about to erupt. Good luck, have fun!

Green Tea Kit Kats can be had at some bigger Asian grocery stores, though at $6 a package.

I was in Japan a month ago and enjoyed every minute of it. Here are a few things you can do:

1. Eat sushi at Tsukiji Fish Market at 8am.
2. Visit Odaiba and check out the giant Gundam and ferris wheel there.
3. Enjoy Meiji Shrine in Harajuku, then relax at Yoyogi Park a few blocks away.

I recall when I was walking back to our hotel alone in Shinjuku and I was solicited by multiple pros along the way right out in the open. Such a shame they have to resort to that to make money. They were young & good-looking enough (even by my asian standards) to marry any rich dude.

If it was in Shinjuku, it's good you didn't take them up on their offer because most likely a Yakuza would've been waiting for you.

You mean Ramune? You can buy those at the grocery store around here along with various other Japanese items (like Pocky and Hi-Chew). When I lived up north, I'm pretty sure Wegman's had them in their Oriental section too.

These are probably my favorite though. :$

If you are still in the Kyoto/Osaka area try going to Mino City and driving up the mountain. Japan, for all its wealth and technology, does not have guardrails. They have gutters but no guardrails. So, if you make a mistake you will most likely pay with your life. Oh, there are monkeys in the mountain too. Lots and lots of monkeys.

You just need to drive like this! :awe:

Go on a date with those realistic robots, do a review, then do a group buy for all the ATOT virgins.
