'Amber Room' Found？

Newly Discovered Flush Simulator Function.

I accidentially used a girls bathroom the other day (no really)..
I only realised my mistake when I looked at the armrest on the toliet.

Some ladies' toilets have a noise function to cover up any unfortunate noises.
This saves water as the user doesn't have to flush to get the same effect.

What noise does it make?

A toilet flushing, of course.

Educational(?)

'Straps' are the things you always see hanging from mobile phones in Japan.

I call them 'phone bling'.

This rack in Toys R Us had some with various animals with sections cut away to reveal their various organs.

Riverborder.

Tokyo begins on the right bank of this river.
My first apartment is on the left bank.
Mt.Fuji富士山 is on the horizon off to the left.

Watch That First Step.

If this dog falls off this ledge he'll effectively hang himself.

That'll make for an interesting sight bright and early one morning on the walk to work..

Koi + Water = Zen.

Most of Japan's rivers have concreted channels yet Koi can still be found in almost any one that you peer into.
