Japanese medicine

Medicine is a little strange in Japan,...or should I say different. This is an example of a cute character advertising your medication of choice, in this case one for a bad stomach after eating or drinking too much...

Knowing that you have this little guy alongside you fighting to make you feel better of course makes all the difference :-)

Rain

Oceans 13 today. It was OK.....parts were very good but not all. I guess the first one is always going to be the best one but never mind. It was nice weather this morning but then by the afternoon felt like rainy season all over again...... doesn't Shinjuku look nice in the rain?
OK the second picture isn't Shinjuku at all but another place famous for rain......somehow we don't seem to mind.....

Rainbow Six

I'm not usually a video game fan but succumbed to getting a PS3 a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking about the Wii but was impressed by the overall visuals of the PS3 and that it had HDMI. Anyway Rainbow Six Vegas is great, music, graphics and controls/strategy makes for a challenge but fun at the same time :-) Yet to check out the multi player options.......

Japanese politicians - conservative?

Now its well known that Japanese in general are fairly conservative and reserved ...... then possibly with the exception of the ex-prime minister the politicians here are even more so... So then was mildly amused to see this candidate on the local election boards about a month ago.. Did he win? ermmmm well no... but I would have voted for him, if i could vote :-)

Back...with a penguin

Been a hot summer, haven't really had so much to write about and then probably have been too lazy to keep up to date but will try to do better. As you can see I have a penguin.... ermm.. lost my mind maybe but really love penguins. This one is actually a small cushion and was ridiculously expensive but couldn't resist....oh never mind.
