I much prefer a good night out at an izakaya to a rowdy bar in Roppongi/etc.
You can find some great things on the menus in lots of places. The other night I had some jumbo gyoza that were baked in a cheese sauce. Very nice.

T-shirts help Americans relax abroad - by posing as Canadians
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An American T-shirt company has a solution for fellow citizens who want to vacation in Europe without having to answer questions about U.S. politics: pose as Canadians.
For $24.95 US (about $30 Cdn), T-shirtKing.com offers the "Go Canadian" package, full of just the kind of things an American traveller needs to leave home and its politics behind. There's a Canadian flag T-shirt, a Canadian flag lapel pin and a Canadian patch for luggage or a backpack. There's also a quick reference guide - "How to Speak Canadian, Eh?" - on answering questions about Canada.
It's the brainchild of employees at the Mountainair, N.M.-based company known for novelty T-shirts it sells worldwide on the Internet.
The Go Canadian idea sprouted after one of company president Bill Broadbent's colleagues heard of someone being harassed about U.S. politics during a recent overseas trip.
Some people might not mind, but others "just want to be on vacation," Broadbent said. "So we were joking that they could just go as Canadians, and that just kind of evolved."
The package went up on the company website Nov. 12, and sold a couple hundred within weeks.
Sylvia Dawson's boyfriend has been joking that she needed to find him a Canadian flag for a coming trip to Spain. That's after his daughter, who is studying there, warned that he might be questioned about politics when he comes to visit.
So she bought a package.
"I said, 'What are you going to do if someone asks you about the prime minister of Canada?' And he said, 'I'll study up,' " Dawson said.
Such questions are the reason for the package's quick reference guide, which offers tips in case an American in disguise gets quizzed on Canada.
When it comes to sports, the guide suggests: "This is easy to remember. There is only one real sport in Canada and it is called hockey. Regardless of any trivia question, the answer is Wayne Gretzky.
If a Canadian says he had to "deke out of a meeting," it means he avoided the meeting. If someone is headed to "Hogtown," that's Canadian for Toronto. A trip to "Cowtown" means the person is going to Calgary.
And in all cases, the guide advises: "If your vacation is to be stress free, leave those heavy politics behind and travel with a light heart and quick wit, Canadian style."

Must be it.
But can you actually see more than pants on the internet?

Miss Hong Kong!
Looks like an ex. Honest.

I just heard it and saw the video - it's almost too bad for words. Truly truly awful.

That sure sounds like a lot of fun! So where gets the most concrete in this place then?Quote:We call it 'concrete'. As in fresh, heavy concrete before it sets.

I thought Arai had bands on and stuff like that?

That would be U2 Boy I think.
My first single was probably something really embarrassing like Toto or something (forgive me, pre-puberty)

The country's combination of increasing wealth and traditional values gives it the conditions most likely to make its people happy, the survey found.

It looks nice that, I'd try it after a night on the beer. One can't do me much harm.

Very cool. What for?Quote:My mom had a worm farm for a few years.

No release here or not planned/announced anyway.

Hey what are the dates?

I saw that. No good, sorry. It pales in comparison to early Bond movies, and Moore does look completely out of place in it all.
