There's just something about Japan

I'm in Japan for a ten-day trip, and I took the liberty of extracting some Japanese culture for ya'll...(pardon the horizontal pics...computer trouble).

1. This pic has no explanation....I caught him alongside a vending machine...
2. The crowded trains of Jpan after work hours.
3. The shopping fever, Japs have it by the bag-full. Takashimaya is one of the popular, pricey ones.
4. This is a Jpanese convenience store (aka. combini)...yummy little food snacks to sell...

5. This is kind of like Jpanese fast food. Beef bowl.
6. This is just to bring back memories...a Jpanese vending machine.
7. Display food!
8. That's me and my Godfather, who is dying of cancer and who i was very happy to see before off to the Africas.
9.Everyone's favorite--Jpanese school girls! Peesu!

10. The ever passionate nightime train station bands. This one wasn't too bad. Remember those screaming ones in the tunnels?
11. Here you have a Japanese Freak on the streets of Shinjuku.

12. Tsutaya...oboiteru? The popular chain rental video store.

13. This one happens to be my favorite. It's the tissue man!! Tissue distributing is a way of advertising in Jpan. Everyone needs the handy dandy tissue packs. And they just slip the little ad papers in the back...Whatta cutie.

14. Curr dudes! Yeah, these guys are the shiz.

15. Hey, it's an asian April!!!!
16. I love Shinjuku...(Shinjuku is a big city in Tokyo. I guess it could be like "i love NY")
Hope you enjoyed!...Maybe I'll take some more?
