These guys were hanging around outside an arcade in Shibuya last night. Yes, the giant pink thing scares me, too. He’s from a little plastic toy that just sits on your desk and bobs his head around in a zenlike manner. When you walk into Kiddy Land and see a giant stack of these things all bobbing their heads, you really want to stop licking South American toads.
I took this shot while walking back to the subway station from The Maple Leaf, a not-so-creatively-named Canadian bar where I enjoyed a bacon cheddar cheeseburger and a Moosehead while a Canadian girl told me over and over how disgusting meat is. A TV that shared a tree-stump-lined wall with a Canadian flag showed some soccer game. Two guys from South America were flirting with little Japanese girls and the girls in our group were making plans to attend “Women’s Fest” on Sunday. The night began at TGI Friday’s, which was packed (with mostly Japanese — I guess they love crap, too). Yes, I was out with The Expats again.
I adore the giant pink thing! It reminds me of my favorite Pokemon, Merril.
