One of the simple joys of winter in Japan is nabe, any combination of meat and vegetables you throw in an earthenware pot filled with water, season as you see fit, and let slowly stew to mouthwatering perfection. It is also the main reason to keep using a kerosene heater.
I must admit, however, this isn’t actually a nabe – it’s chicken ramen. The egg was in the refrigerator, so I was warming it before throwing it on top of the noodles for perfect consistency.

This is my new wallet, and I am secure in my manhood.
Spicy move!

A new love hotel shopping center (see comments) being put up in Kobe. I love my new camera.

I hate flies, but this one was cooperative. Taken on a nature trail at the Awaji Highway Oasis last Sunday.

Found this in Kobe between a stairwell and a hidden shotengai a couple weeks ago. The artwork is reminiscent of gishigishikun (an ultraviolent schoolboy manga) for some reason… Maybe that bloody nose.

Photos from last Sunday:
