Surreal? Staged?

Yes, what looked real might be staged but unless proven otherwise, it is just a wild guess on our part.

Roppongi Magic

Now that I've got videos all worked out. Here's a really interesting one that I received recently.

Anyone going to Japan Tokyo soon, check out this restaurant and let me know if this is really real.

Jungle Cubicle

Now I understand why my office desk is always in such a clutter.

Pancake Wonder

Until now I still don't get it. Why is there always such a loooooooonnnng queue at... *gasp*... Pizza Hut in Shanghai?!

Few possible explanations from my equally puzzled expat friends:
1. this is one of the cheapest western food restaurants around (not true) and makes the locals feel upclass by being in there
2. they are crazy! (maybe)
3. pizzas are similar to Chinese pancakes with fillings so it is foreign yet familiar (doubt so)

Or perhaps, they simply like the food THAT much.
To each his own.

Water Woes

Ok, I admit I have been really slow in posting. Now that I have gotten a post on Shanghai done, just a little on my personal life recently.

See, on Mar 11 few things happened:
1. my specs fell into a toilet bowl of my own shit
(no, I am not using this specs anymore even AFTER much washing)
2. my earphones fell into a cup of coffee
3. last but not least, my toilet paper fell into a pool of water

final state













Well, in everything give thanks.
Thankfully due to vanity I have greater than 5 pairs of glasses.
Thankfully due to quick reflex actions, I managed to pull my earphones out before it had time to enjoy a thorough dip in my daily caffeine dose.

Thankfully water still works even if toilet paper doesn't.
