# I wish,

# It says
Rumu Porojikuto (Room Project) in Katakana.

Not really sure WHY it's katakana, tho, since "room project" could be translated to japanese...

/shrug/

Hope you enjoy Japan.

# always wanted to,

(roomproject, Wed 9 Jul 2003, 0:07, archived)
# cool
I was there last summer for study abroad, and I'm going back to teach English in a year.
Go to Kobe and Nara if you can - they're amazing and often overlooked.

# Were you

I lived off mostly Italian food when I was there...fish in almost everything else...

# Vending machines
That's what I remember most now. vending machines everywhere.

Selling everything.

Halfway up a mountain, feelinging a bit thirst, go to a beer machine. Sorted.

# we found
octopus and fish vending machines. And many that sold porn (on the sides of mountains, too).

# cool,
porn when you need it, where you need it :D
(roomproject, Wed 9 Jul 2003, 0:19, archived)
# Found Vending machines for
porn, underwear (not worn), variously shaped vibrating items, etc.

Tho they WERE in a love hotel...

(Sign in the enterance "Please do not be entering with foreign ladys who wait in the street".)

On a clifftop view post of Mount Fuji, there was a mahcine that did hot sausage nad chips.

# oooooh
you went to a love hotel?
I though I was daring going to a bar
(KnitWit, Wed 9 Jul 2003, 0:25, archived)
# erm, that should say sausage AND chips
not nads.

Tho I DID see a fast food place called "Nads Burgers" when I was in Derby last weekend.

# There's a vibrator vending machine in the red light area of Tokyo (well, at least one)
*apparently*

They also do beer and sake vending machines in almost every town and soft drink machines in almost every other street.

I should get a photo of the plush toy I got from Japan the other day "Cardboard Boy and Cat Bread". No really, it's way fucked up :)

EDIT: Here you go.
