Living Out Of A Suitcase

Near the outskirts of Sendai, where the city slowly reverts back to farmland, you’ll find lots of interesting old vending machines. Here’s one of them.
Local farmers sell eggs and vegetables out of these bad boys. Interesting side note, these eggs, along with the ones you’ll buy at a supermarket, are unrefrigerated.

When in doubt, just take photos of Japanese schoolgirls.
Their socks don’t match.

Most come in three flavours: Miso, Shoyu (soy sauce), and Shio (salt). Personally, I prefer the miso chashu (miso with sliced pork) variety.

Between Ogawara and Shibata towns, a thousand cherry blossom trees line the Shiroishi River. Thousands upon thousands of tourists visit the area in May to enjoy ‘Hanami’, cherry blossom viewing.

Taking a brief siesta during a long night of bar-hopping. I don’t think I’m allowed back in this particular bar actually, but that’s another story for another day…

A beautiful old Karmann Ghia. Notice that it’s a left-hand drive model; cars in Japan have the steering wheel on the right-hand side.

Apparently Jack Daniels is the whiskey with the highest calorie content. I guess I’ll have to make mine with a Diet Coke.

Crazy Japanese vending machines. I love the beer vending machines.

I’d like to find one of those boxed-in porn vending machines again. They’re usually found out in the countryside along some old lonely road.

I forgot about how eggs are refrigerated in N. America. I guess I keep them in my refrigerator at home.
