Nachiguro-ishi

I took a picture of three legged crows... wait a minute, those behind the crows are... Didn't notice when I took this picture.

Fried Sunfish

Tastes like regular fish fries, no much difference from catfish/cod fries. I say it's a bit chewier if I have to find some difference. Maybe it's cod fries all along. Can't tell. 880 yen for this is too expensive.

Whale Dish

All whale meat dish - red meat, fat, skin, intestines, and tongue in various ways of cooking. Had it for lunch in Taiji where The Cove was filmed. Thanks to those anti-whaling nations, this lunch costs over $40 even in one of the most famous whaling towns.

Beetle Larvae

Moms and dads. They emerged in early June. There were about 3 times more of them but I released 2/3 of them back in the nature.

Soda Pudding

Topped with soda flavored thing instead of caramel. Not bad.

Fanta Cola

Not bad. I would buy more if diet is available.

Rolly & Hacchan

I thought these cats live in Inokashira park but it turned out they are from a cafe near the park.

UCLA Extension

Found a UCLA extension. They offer a cosplay hostess club course only. It doesn't require 4.0+ GPA to enter this UCLA.

Tanabata

Tanabata festival is coming soon on July 7th. Kids make a wish, write it down on a paper strip, and put it on bamboo leaves with some decorations. It's fun to read their wishes. A bit awkward Japanese adds cuteness to their wishes.

"I want everybody to be happy this year."

"I want my mom to stay healthy."

"I want to meet a new family without any problem." Huh? I hope this kid is talking about his dog or cat. Japanese allows to omit the subject so it's difficult to tell who is going to meet a new family.

Forgot to take a picture but one wish strip says, "I want to be an Ultraman."
