Try Using this To Get To Work On Time...

The Japanese Subway...

Yeah...it ridiculous.


I still have to fit in this if I want to go home:

Japanese People Work Too Hard..

As a result they fall asleep anywhere at the drop of a hat:






This saddes' still texting:

I Am Not Eating That...


I went to a little traditonal-style bar restaurant in my town the other day and the little old lady put this in front of me.
It smelled like fish that was dipped in something putried then placed on an engine block on a hot Trinidad day at maracas for a couple of weeks.

Sorry Ma-ma san...I am not eating that...

Shibuya...



Shibuya is another part of Tokyo, further east than Roppongi and about 15 minutes by train from where I live in Futakoshinchi. In case you're wondering where Futakoshinchi is, it's right next to Futako-tamagawa.


Hachiko.
A dog's loyalty inspires milions...





Roppongi...



Tokyo is large and sprawling.
All the parts of Tokyo have different names. Roppongi is one of them.
It's an upscale area full of nightlife hotspots and exclusive highrise housing with attached expenzive brandname shops like Diesel, Fossil, etc.
Often there are displays and concerts in the shopping/apartment area.
This time there was a BMW display:









Note the laptop attached to the engine in the back so you drive the simulator on the flatscreen in front...

Starship Enterprise called...they want their toilets back...


Starship Enterprise about to beam up every toilet in
Japan at once...

There are tv's on this planet with fewer buttons than some Japanese toilets.

My cell phone has fewer buttons than this toilet.
Some it's more amazing features (at least the one's I could figure out) include:


Ergonomic design, easily accesible control panel and convenient built-in sink that utilizes toilet tank water.











Readliy accessible flip-top control panel to control force of ass-jet, toilet seat heating and a bunch of other things I haven't figured out yet..











Multiple flushing speeds.














Remote control access for those priceless toilet pranks..













Illuminated display for nightime viewing, motion sensor for touchless flushing and universal button iconography..



Easy to follow instructions..














I may never be able to use a normal peasant toilet again..
