Complete Randomness
Friday, May 24, 2013
Here are a bunch of random things that haven't really fit into any of the other posts I've done. The picture above is of a temple I walk by on my way to the station or Family Mart.
That's another picture of the same temple.
That's Jubilo's (Iwata's soccer team) female mascot. The male mascot is on the other side of the street.
I randomly took this picture from the front of my apartment on a horribly rainy day. I need to take a better pic sometime.
Jonathan and I went to the Azalea park in Iwata. Unfortunately a lot of the azaleas had already lost their flowers, but a few areas still looked really nice.
There's my car! It's a Nissan Moco. It's not that cute and looks like so many other cars here, but I like it. It's really easy to drive and it's small so it's good for the narrow streets here. I also love that I don't have to push the seat all the way forward to reach the pedals!
I don't know if that's a typo or what because the logo says AAS.
I drive on this bridge to Hamamatsu pretty often.
Jonathan lives next to Tenryu river and there's a park along the river.
Is this legal??? Hahaha. The car also had pink lights under it!
This is the view from the front of Jonathan's apartment. I like the pink house!
Jonathan's bicycle is My Bicycle and it's a fashion bicycle!
His fridge has a really weird brand name.
Arcades in Japan are so much fun! This air hockey game was crazy. Every once in a while it sends out about 20 tiny little pucks. They're worth one point each and the big ones are worth three, I think.
It's a claw machine with Hagen Dazs ice cream!
I actually won something from one of the claw machines! I also won a Flareon (type of Pokemon) plushie in that same machine on another day.
Jonathan won this really random pillow out of a machine for me! It was especially random because the day before I had randomly watched an episode of Powerpuff Girls online which I hadn't seen since High School. This pillow has Blossom, one of the Powerpuff Girls characters and Hatsune Miku, who is a Japanese vocaloid singer (computerized) drawn like a Powerpuff girl.
I made Jonathan do this purikura (Japanese photo booth) with me. You take a few pictures and then get to add random drawings and stuff. Fun!
Those are the super cute souvenirs I got at Sky Tree.
A super cute skirt!
My cell phone is kind of old style, but I think it's cute. It's pink! It's light, but it's still pinker than it looks in this picture.
One of my favorite stores around here is Pick Up, which is a recycle shop. They have sooooo much used stuff. It's amazing! Stuff isn't dirt cheap like it would be at Goodwill or something, but the stuff tends to be in good shape and is still way cheaper than buying something new. They have some really awesome stuff there and random stuff too like pachinko machines! Haha! I recently bought a Super Famicom (the Japanese version of Super Nintendo) there. I'll do a separate post about that.
This was at the 100 yen store. At the top it says "Bikkuri Naifu" which means "Surprise Knife." "Give someone a great surprise." Hahahaha! I think that you could really scare someone with this. I don't think it would be great, lol.
Ew. This was also at Seria.
