Tokyo Edition

Heres the newest installment of Only in Korea, entitled the Tokyo Edition. The Tokyo photos start and when you get to the Nazi sympathizers, you know you are in Korea. Enjoy!

They are pretty sophisticated in Japan, they say to hell with elevators, bring on the levators!

Honestly, I would expect the boss of all bosses to be Bruce Springsteen. But its not, its Tommy Lee Jones, so look out.

I dont think anyone has ever been happy about being in the Ghetto.

Delicious Sake in a jar, straight out of a vending machine.

My friend from Canada ate this prior to out flight home and said it made him pretty uncomfortable the entire trip, but what did he expect?

This photo was taken seconds before the bike fell apart and begged for a bailout.

We got to stay.

Whats a rabbit hutch? Dont they live in fields and the sort?

This rabbit mannequin lived on the street.

Hmm...

This is from Harakuku in Tokyo, an area popular with the counter culture society of Japan.

Some of Japan's games reward you with Ritz crackers, no surprise I found this one empty.

Apparently some Koreans are Nazi sympathizers.

Kyle, The Captain of Pirates, arrgh!

Like the Polaroid, there are just some things Korea hasnt gotten the message about.

No robots, ok?

Make your own joke.

The Galloper: the only SUV with the same top speed as a horse.

Found it.

He was a big guy, he just couldnt stay awake.

A Canadian teacher and her student wearing very similar outfits.

BJ Haus

Now.

This is a burger I ate with buns made of rice.

Bad things happen when this guy is behind you.

Bathroom sign at a Buddhist temple.

Room at a rest stop.

Coffee shop at a rest stop.

Odd for western places, but typical hours in Korea.

Tony Danza's place.

Translated, this book is called the "Fart Bet" and follows two characters as they fart up a storm and end up in outer space. Im not kidding. It is as common in Korea as "Everybody Poops" is in America.

Woo Tang Tour Group, enough said.

Vodka from Kazakhstan.

Not my photo, but had to include it. This is my friend Alexis' dog, Petey, in his Halloween costume. Petey is a long hair dachshund and apparently hated his costume so much they had to wait until he was asleep to put it on and then take a quick picture.

Brought to you by Quartz: the SHALOM clock model.

Immaturity at its finest, but you have to laugh at our flashcard for the color brown.

Child being assaulted by an octopus on the front of a restaurant.

NASA's foreign office, discretely located in a back alley and sharing a wall with a sleezy motel.

Said motel.

Strangely no cats are available here, not even for consumption.

Not really funny, more depressing because its not a real waffle house.

My class's pumpkin from Halloween, the only one with ears and also the only one that was rotten and full of maggots. My kids are slave drivers and made me carve it anyway.

My buddy Phil says his friend is an unrecognized designer in NYC so he can get deals. He asked me, with a serious face, if I was interested in any of the clothes.

I hear a degree from here carries a lot of weight in professional communities.
