For sure, I took a shit in at a really big department store's toilet, it was cleaner than my house washroom. I could literally eat off the toilet. Best shit ever

I wore a polo shirt and jeans once in Kansai, and I really need to take a shit; it was the worst feeling ever! I felt like I was cooking my own shit in myself! I almost fainted trying to hold the crap and the hotness...:cry:

:haha: thanks! i was contemplating whether to actually bother bringing a few jeans there when i go this summer but looks like i wont be. moar pics!

You actually feel really clean afterwards when compared to if you just use toilet paper. Some toilets even has odor 'killer'? No matter how stinky your shit is, you can't smell it! Its great because you can't really stink up the toilet! Another thing is that the stalls are completely isolated, so people can't hear nor see if you are taking a piss or taking a dump. I swear they even use sound deadening, its that awesome.

I gota say it is pretty awesome to see all these JDM parts at an actual store instead of ordering based on pictures online...

What do we have here....?

The local fish market!

non edible sushi

JDMMMM BENTLEY!!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/f0ebbd71.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/ba43dc6c.jpg

Tonkatsu sandwich!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/2b06246f.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/9bdc4ab4.jpg

Tasted really awesome, the crust was still crunchy even though it was cold!

Worst Tonkatsu dinner ever...located at the train station of Kyushuuu

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/b20b089d.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/5d8aa254.jpg

It may look good, but it was raw inside...the chef refuse to make me a new one. They just re-fried it, definitely not japanese like.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/8dbb5f74.jpg

Night Market!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/56157a1c.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/e945ce7a.jpg

We just went to the store with most people lol

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/7c166cb2.jpg
Ramen was MEH from what I can remember. Definitely had better ones!
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/78bd7f5c.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/cc089e7b.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/04fafab2.jpg

On the other hand, the roast pork belly and beef tongue was pretty awesome.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/418385b1.jpg

Apparently these little gyoza is Kansai famous

Random farm land while riding the bullet trainn!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/b82ed7d3.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/ff5dd7d4.jpg

Then we landed at Kyushu...i think

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/c0f4fb7d.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/d8777d2f.jpg


Their shopping mall

Now this katsu don was the absolute SHIT! Its apparently those black pigs? I don't know, or boars.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/5a37ca17.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/49debdf6.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/b1b24c50.jpg

It was pretty much the perfect katsu in my books. The fat and the meat layered evenly. It was juicy tender and crunchy. It was so good I had to get a second order of rice, and the bowl of rice was by no mean small. Makes my mouth watery as I am typing this!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/4106988b.jpg

They also do shabu shabu at night

And of course, the restaurant's washroom..

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/43299792.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/96082275.jpg

BBT from japan...best BBT...ever...all i can say is that it tasted really jdm lol

Aquarium!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/a09e5823.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/67230802.jpg

looks like pokemon lol

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/7b13988a.jpg

And here lies the best horse meat I have ever had. It is considered as a delicacy in Japan. The meal for two was around 160 cnd! I can't exactly consider it cheap, but it was worth every single penny!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/1a9f6148.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/3c215091.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/ee085684.jpg

We ordered soda lol

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92...4/3e71c059.jpg

And apparently that is all the photos I took with my camera. I will try to grab the rest from my sister. I hope we have the horse meat pictures on her DSLR!!

Jer3 07-02-2010 08:57 PM
