Weird stuff

A robot greeter at Concept LABI
(LABI is an electronics store, and Concept LABI is their store that
has big demo displays of new stuff)

Listen to the wall sign.

Bank employees scrub the sidewalk outside the bank at quarter to 9.

And remove litter from and trim the hedge.

Japanese version of an American Australian themed restaurant.

Sometimes it's probably best if you don't show how the product is made

It's art!

A hog needs to look his best.

I'm not sure what this powers, but I'm sure it was too important for just a switch...

No sit-ins.
Yoou might be forgiven for thinking this was a government building or something,
but no, it's a pedestrian underpass.

No selfie sticks!
Snake! SNAKE! SNAAAAAAAAKE!!!

There is a brand of nail polish called Smelly.
Its mascot is a sad polar bear.

A store called Don Quixote that sells practically everything, also sells

Living things

So, now that I'm physically back in Australia, I thought I'd round off the blog with some posts that are more "here is a bunch of stuff I saw across the entire trip" that are vaguely thematically linked.

I'd've maybe done a few more of these, but it takes about 15 minutes for "add a photo" to load all the photos from the start of the trip to now, so each one of these is an everloving pain to create.

You get what you get.

A goose in the moat around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo

Dragonfly in bushes near same.

There were dozens of these guys floating around near the palace.

An orb weaver type spider in the forest near Takayama

I saw dozens of spiders, and all of them looked like this.
Maybe Japan only has one type of spider.

Beeeeeeeeeeees!
