We have a family in our back yard, too. Pretty damn cute!

...Stairway to heaven

Ah, thought you meant Amanohashidate for a second. I lived in Japan for three years, and "Stairway (or bridge) to Heaven" was the English translation of the place. If you view the sandbar like this (upside down), it is meant to represent that. The very funny thing I saw when I was there was people trying to take a picture of it with their camera upside down between their legs - that the same picture could be obtained by just turning a normal photo upside down, didn't seem to occur to them.

OK, We didn't eat here, but i thought you might get a kick out of the sign:

This is the sign that grabs my attention:

I mean, why eat at Mickey D's when one can get onigiri!

Nice little Haiku there Mr Clement. And I love those smily faces!

Edit: Did you make it to Nakano Broadway?

Sadly, no to Nakano Broadway. I was really hoping to score some Seven Samurai figures! Maybe next year.

You all are very welcome. I hope i'm not overdoing it! I feel like that neighbor from my youth who invites people over and shows slide after slide of his trip! Man, i miss the '60s!

As @Sonik Wiz noted in another thread, bringing presents to family is a BIG deal. Well, We really scored with this one: Poop Oops . . . who knew!?

It looks like you could do a Nick Park stop motion movie with those. I like their creations!

Boy you are making me hungry @Clement!
Japan is a country like Italy that you go to just to eat as well as look at stuff........

 

[jefe1]

Perhaps we should send Poop oops to foraging rhino as a thank you for what he has done so far.....

Not if you're a vegetarian (at least when I was there 20+ years ago). It was a pretty "foreign" (ho ho) concept, and Zen buddhists typically didn't go shopping, or eat in restaurants. Even ordering a vegetarian pizza was conceptually impossible; ordering a "vegetable pizza without the bacon" was the closest I got.

Awesome pictures of Japan, I want to go someday.

Isn't it nice today to just enjoy what we have, no frenzy of having to order the latest and greatest.

I am taking my wife to Japan next year for her birthday since it‘s her 61st and I found out recently that they celebrate it as a second rebirth (33 y/o is the 1st one); she was born in Okinawa…Air Force brat…

So I found out that some popular receivers have a bug and don't actually bass manage the center...which poses a problem for me because in Track 2 I put some deep bass exclusively in the center.

Should I move it to the fronts or nah?
