This picture was taken in Matsumoto. Everyone looked at this shirt...one kid even fell off his bike trying to look at it. My kitty is very controversial in that he has his middle finger in the air, and his sign says "fuku yu". And after the week I had in Matsumoto, that was my sentiments exactly.

I found a Costco not too far from Nobuko's parent's house. Her Mom was completely amazed! Suprisingly, the store was layed-out exacly like an American store....but the food was a little different. And green tea ice cream for about a dollar.

This is a SMART car from the Tokyo Motor Show. Believe it or not, I could actually fit inside the car.
