Mutant Fruit

The fruit here is HUGE. Gi-normous! Definitely aesthetic a-peal. (couldn't resist)


Apples the Size of Your Head

OK, the apples aren't THAT big, because I know several of you have heads the size of Sputnik. However, they are mighty big. Just compare the size of the apples to the size of the CD and Swiss army knife in the photo. You can't cut these suckers all the way through with a normal pocket knife. Even Rambo has to cut them half way through and then cut the other side.

..even though they are technically not as big as your head, they are as big as Michael Jackson's head. And the heads used for Michael Jackson's skull abacus. Yes. Zoom in.

Takao-san

OK, so I actually did go to Takao-san this time. Well.. at least, I was near Mt Takao. After lunch, and a rest break, and that chocolate bar, and that apple the size of my head, it was time to go. But at least, I was a lot closer than I was the last time I said I was at Takao-san.

I'm bad

Sorry, sorry, and ... sorry! I'm a baaaad person, and I haven't posted anything in a very long time. Don't worry, I'm still here. And very soon I'll have some more photos for you! I'm just trying to sort them all out. (Kind of shocking that, with the higher resolution camera, thus larger photo file size, I regularly take more than a CD's worth of photos in one day)

Anyway, recently found David Chart's Japan Diary. He's a writer from England--strikes me as the type of person who types very fast without spelling mistakes. Yes, friends, for that reason alone, I recommend his site. :P Just kidding, I think he keeps the site to promote his books.

Keep posted, more (from me) very soon!

SUCCESS

Yes, non foaming shaving gel. Whether you need success in the dog eat dog of the Tokyo buisness world, or simply taking a nap in the park, this gel gives you the smell and tingly feeling of shaving cream, but without any bristle-raising foam action. Because you know you're only using this stuff because "you're suppoed to use something when you shave."

No foam?!? What gives?

Takao san Mitake san

EDIT: Got the name wrong! I've corrected it.

Takao Mitake is a mountain, not a person. (Not sure why, but some mountains are "yama" and some are "san". The famous one you might know, Mt. Fuji, is actually Fuji san.) Went hiking and took a lot of pictures! Enjoy!

PS. What 'cha think of the new look? I changed the template and intend to modify it soon. Hopefully I won't break comments again, this time...
