Furry in the wrong places

Now, I understand get it. Different strokes for different folks. But every now and then I come across an item here in Japan and I wonder, really? I mean, really? It’s not only who would ever buy that, it’s more why would anyone think of making this? And is there actually a market for this? Which brings me to last night when I was browsing Amazon.co.jp in search for a nice, small,...

Things I like in Japan #1

I decided to start a series of posts titled Things I like in Japan, which outlines just that. Coming from the Niagara region of Ontario, maybe it’s silly to make the first thing I like in Japan grapes. In Canada, I was never a big grape fan. I mean if they were around I’d eat them, and I wouldn’t go out of my way to avoid them, but I’d never choose them. Here in Japan,...

Now, after that downer of a beginning… Every time...

Travel : Nara (奈良)

Near the end of June, we travelled to Nara for a two day, one night stay. It took a couple of hours by bus to get there from Nagoya. We arrived there sometime in the early afternoon and after dropping our overnight bag off at the hotel, we headed out to our first stop, Hōryū-ji (法隆寺). This temple is on the world heritage list, and apparently the pagoda is one of the oldest wooden structures...
