    I bet there's a line for this spot to take a photo with the leaves framing the building!

    November is absolutely the best month of the year in Kyoto. Unfortunately, as so often happens in Japan, the crowds at the famous spots really ruin the experience. Look at all the…

    What a bizarre photo! As Yelnats noted, her hands are way too low. Secondly, his huge head looks photo-shopped onto that small body.
    Finally, how can any of you say they are "so classy" or she is "cool" when you don't really know anything about them. Nobody does. All we…

    "24 win, that places him in second place all-time behind Taiho, the half-Russian, half Japanese sumo yokozuna of the 60's who had 31. I forget how many Chiyonofuji and later Takanohana got, but I believe Asashoryu is in 2nd. Its an incredible accomplishment."

    Read much? As the article says, 24…

    "This should be a national shame for Japan."

    "How about cyclists, those of us who ride defensively, don't listen to music players, pick our noses,"

    Since this almost always seems to happen at pachinko parlors, why not make them partially liable and force them have checkers walking the parking lots looking for children left in cars alone? They make a ton of money encouraging people to get addicted and spend hours in front of those…

    The boy doesn't look at all like he is going to or from a sports day. And that bag does not look like something a kid would carry to a sports day. My guess is that the bit about the sports day was added to the caption because of the…
