Anyone Need a Hug?


I was walking in the Hachiko area of Shibuya station where I spotted a trio of university-aged people offering free hugs.
In a country of people who don't really ever touch each other it is very interesting.
Unfortunately I did not indulge in a free hug. I can get plenty from Masa at home.

Facebook mania

I have just discovered facebook and have already spent way too much time searching for people that I don't really need to reconnect with. I am pleased that I have come into contact with a couple people that I have been thinking about recently. It's a pretty good setup. And I can connect with some friends that don't really do email very much. I've already added two photo albums and it's only been a couple of days! Me thinks I may be addicted. Oh well, the mixi fad only lasted a week with me. Let's see how long this lasts.


I'll leave you with a pic from near Maligne Lake in Jasper, Canada. It's been scanned if you were wondering about the poor quality. It was during a dust storm in the pre-digital camera days.


Good Hamburger in Tokyo



I felt like a good hamberger and since I was in Shinjuku, I headed off to Journal Standard near Takashimaya for a quick lunch. Pictured here is the aloha burger with pineapple and usually onion. I think it had spaghetti sauce on it. Anyway, it was really good.


When I got home, I purused a colleague's blog and found a fabulous pic of a towel. You can check out her pics here. Nice work Sarah.
