Jazzy

Impromptu street-side jazz with box and yukata. Enjoyed dancing with these guys.

Grapes

Grape husks, discarded at a Filipina's birthday party. No-one else could undertand why I found this so funny, and when I convinced my girlfriend to try eating a whole grape, instead of sucking out the inside, she chewed it for a bit then took it out declaring it be 'kacchi' (or similar, have to look that up)

The grapes over here taste like wine anyway, so I don't eat them much.

Scorn!

This from a friend in Miyazaki. Friendly despite the sign apparently.

Not what I expected to see in the toilets

NSFW: All shapes and sizes <-- NSFW means not safe for work folks! Don't bitch to me if your boss sees this over your shoulder, as I'll just find it amusing. I like the picture anyway.

And it's a shame I missed this little event...

Sometimes I wish my phone camera didn't suck so much

Best bit of Japlish I've seen in a while. The subscript reads: AN EFFORT ISN'T SPARED TO NOTICE AN ANSWER

Halloween, a while back

Matt, aka 'Ampaman' or 'one of the few cool people left in Hakodate', is shown here flanked by two beautiful ladeez and some random chick who clearly isn't having as much fun. Ampaman is an anthropomorphic 'apaman' or sweet bun. Is there anything the Japanese can't slap a pair of eyes and a smile on? I think not.
The karaoke densha is another 'only in Japan' kind of idea - a tram you can hire out for the night and cruise around town in, picking up anyone you like the look of at the stops while singing karaoke and getting bladdered.

Long departed Zach is loaning out his wig, but still wearing the slightly-too-small schoolgirl outfit and proudly displaying his manly fur and tats.
This picture I sat on for a while because I look so damned awful in it. Wearing a kimono 'backwards', shades of grey, the white triangle, pale face, all indicate my deadness, to the amusement of many. We're here in the best burnt down and no longer with us bar in town - Beer Bellies, your name lives on.

I'm quite distressed that Chihiro is too embarassed to wear that dress on any other occasion than Halloween, it's slink-eh sexy.
