Weird stuff

Enough with all the scenic temple pictures! Let me show you some weird Japanese stuff.



Anyone whose ever played Super Mario Brothers on Nintendo is familiar with the word 'tankuki', but few know what it is. It's actually a Japanese raccoon dog, and it's also regarded as a mythical creature. People often put statues of tanukis, much like the one in the picture above, outside of their businessplaces, especially cafes and restaurants to make their business prosperous. Mmmm. Nothing like a mythical raccoon dog with a small erection and an enlarged nutsack to stimulate the appetite.




Could you drink something with 'SWEAT' in it's name? COULD YOU?




We've all heard of car parks, but in Japan they have bike parks!

Tomorrow -- few in America are aware of it, but their beloved film stars actually come to Japan secretly to do advertisements for everything from coffee to KFC. I think you'll be surprised who you see.
