Animal Skewer

This animal skewer from i love Obento.. is too cute.. and too cheap.. not to get them… great for party food.. or fruits for the kids. At $3.50 a pack of skewers.. it’s absolutely affordable.. and must buy. I’m gonna get a few .. because .. i’m gonna make sure.. the kid brings lunch to school.. everyday.. and have some fruits.

Umeda Sky Building In Osaka

Amazing building in Osaka in the Umeda district, this was designed by Hiroshi Hara. It contains 2 two 40 storey high towers that is connected at their 2 most top storey with bridges and an escalator crossing the atrium like space in the center.

This escalator is said to be the the world’s longest escalator. Very exciting .. to right it .. as you feel like you are reaching the sky… almost floating.. almost scarey. For about 700 yen.. it will take you to an observation deck.

Jokes & Humor

The Japanese are pretty funny people and they appreciate funny Jokes if you ever watch their game shows. But this is a site where you can find just about any kinda jokes from good clean ones to dirty ones.. or blonde jokes or even stupid ones. Check it out and get some good laughs from their pictures too.

Sushi Knife

Under $20 .. sushi knife. If you love sushi.. and game to make some yourself.. then a sushi knife is very important. The knife is light and efficiently designed for cutting vegetables as well.. made of carbon steel .. and a straight cutting edge. It has a wood handle. This knife is made in Japan - Usaba Bocho. Can be bought on Everything Japanese.

Japanese Girl & Pearls

I swear every japanese girlfriend I have .. they have some kind of pearl necklace and earrings. And because of them, i too got myself some Tahitian pearls and i’m glad i did because they go with any occasion or just daily wear is also nice. I used to think that they are only for weddings.. but it is not so, i wear them especially when i need to go for a corporate cocktail. And between you and I .. i think every woman should have a set of pearls.. for jewelry.

Apple Insulated Bottle

Absolutely great.. for the kids.. to bring this to school.. for their lunch. A wee bit ex.. for my liking.. but if it keeps the juice cool.. and the stainless steel inner insulating chamber not only holds the juice .. they do not retain the odor or flavor of other drinks. The high quality resin used to coat on the inside is the reason why this is not only safe.. but absolutely great for your kids.

Snowboards

Snowboarding is a very popular sport in Japan, I’ve seen many of my co-workers making arrangements to go for this sport during the weekend.  And of course, now that I am living in Canada, snowboarding is no longer a remote sport to me, for I see it alot during the winter.

Unfortunately, we don’t have many stores around here that sells snowboards, therefore it is great to find one that specializes in it. One can find just about anything that you need for it here.  With a 30 days guarantee, you can feel free to buy anything you want or like without worrying about not buying the right thing online.

Take advantage of their free shipping as well.. and their prices are definitely very competitive and there is no waiting time for the inventory to be in stock because they are ready to ship out as soon as you order. Quality goods, affordable prices.. and quick shipping and most important a huge range of inventory.

Japanese Anime

Japanese anime is not only popular in Japan.. it has a huge following in the West too. I have a customer.. who would buy anything anime. Whether they are movie.. or figurine.. and even if they weren’t dubbed.. he would still buy them. And they are not kids either.. they are adults.. and very much older teenagers. One had gotta wonder why this is so..? besides the graphic being one of the best.. the storyline.. really seems childish..!! so what is it..?? anyone..??

Driving Around Japan

Driving around Japan during the summer.. can be quite a trying, for it can get very hot during the summer.  And the girlfriend’s family car does need a air conditioning compressor real bad.  But the japanese are so polite.. how do you tell her  that the ride is killing me.. big time..!!

Some Sights At Harajuku Station, Tokyo

This is the famous Harajuku Station, besides the many shops that you can buy stuff from, you can also see many fashionable.. and trendy teenagers.. expressing themselves. They are all dressed up .. like the anime character that they loved.. and they are not shy to parade around the street. The Harajuku station is closed to vehicles on Sundays.

This is a teenager.. singing his heart out.. and look at how he is all dolled up.. he even had his own sound system.. and mic. Awesome eh..?? or passionate..?? or just plain attention seeker..??
