What are you drinking this New Year's Eve?



Obviously, if we were still in Japan I'd be having a Soltidog...no, wait, maybe the Cubaribre. I mean, I am half Cuban and I've always loved a good ribre.

It's winter here, like real winter. Everything is so brown. I miss the golden leaves of the ginko trees...



If I had my druthers, I'd live in perpetual fall.

I used to love them!!



We actually saw an entire "Monchichi" store on one of our last days in Tokyo. They had shelf upon shelf of different ones dressed as anything you can imagine. I don't know if they are still making them or if they just had all this leftover stock from 1987 and decided to go for it.

Behold- the tiniest trashcan ever…



The water bottle is there for scale so you didn’t think this was in front of the tiniest toilet ever. I wish I hadn’t forgotten to take one of the teeny tiny “Precious Moments” trashcan at one of the hotels that said “Make a Joyful Noise”.
