  Tamagawa is that radioactive resort where people go with cancer. What a tragedy.

  This looks really bad down there. On top, they get that really wet, heavy snow down there. Gambatte!

  Rocket 24 has posted it on a video for anyone not being completely clear about this recipe.

  I find it to be a very good idea. How many times do you go to McDo for a take-out and by the time you get home the whole burger is cold? If you heat it up in the microwave, it will come out all soggy - so will the fries and the nuggets. With the rice cooker, it probably still comes out soggy but you don't have to care anymore because you are mixing it with everything anyway. I loved the last part where the guy ate it with chopsticks, something that would be impossible to do otherwise. Great creativity!

  We have all become way to addicted to Twitters, Facebooks and of course the internet. Just shut everything down and we can go back to our cave lifes.

  The service that banks are offering here is really bad. All the other shops, organizations, institutions exceed by far the rest of the world.

  It seems that yellow snow showels are very popular this year as opposed to the more beautiful purple ones of last year. I wonder what the trend will be next year.

  Most of them are kids. Those managers should get arrested for what they are doing. Why is nobody stopping this insanity?

  I think a tiger would have matched her costume better.

  Icy roads are hell when you have summer tires. Tokyo just isn't equipped for cold weather and girlies should realise to leave the high heels at home on days like this.

  588Kcal - so that is almost 1 Yen per Kcal - great marketing strategy! How about a healthy lean chicken soup on the menu?

  I find her paintings rather creepy but they are extremely well painted. It seems that she has a link with the ghost world and aliens. I don't think I would put up her paintings in my living room but they are somehow mesmerizing.

  In other words, every 2nd person in Japan did buy 1 single. I didn't. Did you?

  I think you guys in Tokyo are spoilt with the transportation system. I only get 3 buses a day in my village, so I need a car.

  OK, here is my top 10:

  1. Hot springs everywhere

  2. Uniqlos everywhere

  3. Sushi everywhere

  4. Mochis everywhere

  5. Convenience stores everywhere

  6. Washlet Toilets everywhere

  7. Funny English everywhere

  8. Japanese cars everywhere

  9. Green tea icecream everywhere

  10. Shrines everywhere

  @tokyokawasaki: I wonder how long it will take the feds to arrest him and put him in an American jail and it will be interesting to see how the Japanese media will react.

  @Maitake, trust me when it is -20C skiing is no more fun. @mabodofulus: In the forest are bears, foxes, deer. rabbits and creepy birds. I think whoever took this picture has never seen a car that was snowed in. This is not even worth talking about it. I wished I had only that much snow on my car. The other day it took me 1 hour to get everything off and defrost the car.

  I do cross country on my street outside my house and go right into the forest.
