Things that Remind Me I Live in Japan

Here's a sampling of pictures I've taken over the last couple of months...it's the little things like these that make me smile, laugh, and sometimes wonder "What the heck are they thinking?!"

I prefer plain cheese pizza and I'm willing to try new things, but asparagus and pepper? We've all seen the info-mercials for ProActiv, but look at this ProActiv vending machine! It still doesn't beat my favorite Liquor Shop vending machine. Click here to see that!















Decisions, decisions....tuna pizza, German trio or Wafu pizza?












It's not just a big bowl of ramen, it's UFO BIG! Do you think men can/will eat this SHEs yogurt?












That's a jar of baby food...rice, fish and seaweed. Did you notice the ages it's appropriate for? 0-100. I don't like Oreos, but look, it's a banana Oreo bar!












This sign was hanging in the train. Who knew McDonalds sold hot dogs? And this is a sign we always see after leaving a construction zone. We've been here for 15 1/2 months and I still love the bowing! It's on signs everywhere and I always smile whenever I see it.

Was the price of the Proactive the same, less or more than on TV?

Very cool things you find. Thanks for posting them. I'll never go to Japan, but feel like I'm seeing it from you.
