Some Random Photos from Japan

This rabbit-headed mannequin was the display for the clothing store, Wonder Rocket, located in Harajuku and whose clothes I absolutely adored.

The vending machines were much like those in Korea, but more expensive. However they did have the addition of hot corn soup in a can. All I can say is delicious!!!

These mini statues were present at the cemetery where Steph's grandfather is buried. They are designated for children who have passed away.

Squid balls! Er, I mean takoyaki!!! Also, delicious!!!!

This was an amazing art show that we saw at the Mori Art Museum called "Medicine and Art." It had everything from Francis Crick's pencil drawing of DNA's structure to Matsui Fuyuko's haunting work on silk, Damien Hirst, Leonardo da Vinci, and Charles Grignon's engravings; with both past and contemporary artists' interpretation of the human body displayed side-by-side. It was definitely a show worth seeing.

On top of great art, the museum is also placed on the 53rd floor of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, so one could get a fantastic view of Tokyo.

Lucky poop. I mean, what could be more lucky than golden poop?
