Is it just me, or is this artwork on a stepping exercise machine kinda disturbing?

Stumbled upon this interesting work yesterday in a stone quarry.

Adam displaying our first catch of the season – a trophy fugu!

Hello kitty electric fan. BTW, in Japan, Hello Kitty is simply known as “kitty.”

Somehow, I suspect this wouldn’t fly in the states.

A new yakitori stand on the street in front of JR Nara station. The guy running it is a real character, and the chow is tasty. Usually open until 5AM…

Two-story driving range in Nara. Reminded me of Black Rain.

True art. In the guy’s john at Osaka University.

Blue skies, open road.

Front view of Sumoto shrine.

Quite possibly the grossest drink I have ever seen. Macha-flavored Calpis (green tea-flavored cultured yogurt drink). Didn’t even warrant a taste test.
