it was by chance that we wandered upon the annual st patrick's day parade in omotesando! it was pretty windy that day and I felt sorry for the people who were holding up banners as they had to hold it up against the wind and the school girls who were in the parade wearing but their dance costumes which did not look too warm... a little weird to be seeing bagpipes and japanese people with kilts too.

red bull boost

I've heard of using NOS to give your car a little boost but this is borderline ridiculous. imagine the kick you get when that red bull boost kicks in.

hooligans in japan


hooligans in japan? Posted by Picasa

went to watch a football match in tokyo and this sign was posted in the entrance of the home backstand side. translated it reads 'no one wearing away goods is permitted past this point. home fans area' apparently they had some issues when some away fans wandered into the home side backstand and they got beat up or tussled. yes, football hooligans in japan! now only if they could play ball like in europe... was a terrible game that was only saved by the beer.

everybody clear!

yes. that's a defibrillator folks. saw one in the station on the way home and had to laugh at the instructions 'do not use unless emergency' which got me thinking, what other uses for a defribillator are there? cooking potatoes really really quickly? shocking your drunken friends back into consciousness? ohhh the possibilities, the possibilities...
