# 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
vegetarian in Japan?

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.

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

# 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.
