vending machine all
around

You must taste some local drink in Tokyo!
Most of the drink is served by vending machine. You can notice all round the area in Tokyo. There are actually more than 2000 type of drink offer in this country from soft drink to juice and beers. The packing is special that I ever since in my life! You can find more than 10 different types of Coke in can and bottle which I have it all for my collection. Some may have some funny advertisement. You can notice the price is cheaper compare you get in those convenient shop as they charge for government tax...

I like the juice and tea! A Coke in 500ml and 300ml is actually selling for same price if you notice...may be is the promotional period.

Visit a convenience store and buy a beer - you can't really go wrong and now that malt liquor has found it's way onto Tokyo shelves there is cheaper alternative to beer (happoshu). I like JUNNAMA - it is the one with the cute white can with the blue writing - you'll know!

on February 23, 2003

Purikura (photo machines) were a major fad about five years ago! They still remain a fun way to capture a part of your day out in Tokyo. You can find them inside any video game arcade....they cost between 300 to 400 yen and will be something that you can keep forever!!!

There are vending machines at practically each street corner and they dipense everything from fast food and bottled air to magazines and toilet paper (among other things which I won't mention here for obvious reasons - suffice it to say that the rumours are true).

One of the most fun things to do at a sporting event in another country is to see what type of foods and souvenirs are offered.At the sumo match all matter of teas, beer ,sake,ice cream in a waffle type covering , and chicken skewers were a few of the things that could be enjoyed, The most popular seemed to be the obento box with a selection of fish shrimp, pickled vegetables, a cold omelete type of food and another box of rice. I tried to eat like the Japanese would at the event but I really would have preffered a hot dog and a beer.

Motorcycle Shopping Mall. There is one street in Tokyo, Ueno district where many motorcycle shops are located all conviently within walking distance of each other. In Japan, the motorcycle Industry is declining each year as far as overall sales. You think in Japan this would not happen for this where all the major manufactors are located. Still you can find all the latest and newest gadgets, custom accessories and exotic machines not available anywhere else.

Riders Park QR Motorcycle Shop
This is the name of my friends shop in Tokyo.
It is located in Nakano-ku. They specilize in
repairs and modificatons of Honda VFR750's.
I became good friends with the people who own this shop through a mutual friend who introduced me to them. The VFR's shown are 1986 750 Interceptors that I shipped to them. 1986 models
are very popular in Japan to own. I have many memorable moments at there shop benchracing
and discussing life. Even though my Nihongo speaking is bad, we communicate very well.
Motorcycle people in any country same, always
have something to talk about!

When visiting Tokyo, there is one place I always visit in Nakano-ku Tokyo. I have dear friends who own motorcycle shop named Riders QR. To get there, I take many local trains, about 1 1/2 hours depending on time of day. To get to my friends shop, we must drive thru this one narrow street.
