Making Fun in Hikone

I love Lake Biwa what can I say. Note the crazy Lock Ness Quasi Godzilla Monster guarding the Japanese characters and the jetski. Brilliant. Only in Japan.

Also exclusive to Japan is the common tradition of parking one`s used vehicles in their yards. This is a trait entirely exclusive to Japan and never seen in Michigan.

Oh wait.

This is on the bike path we ride everyday to the Hikone train station or the Cainz Mall aka Japanese Meijer for ballers. This mall uses English characters for style more than practicality.
It`s essentially the same reason Americans get tatoos of japanese characters thinking its `stylish`. So yes since Japanese people usually go to the store for food every day or two, their shopping carts are clearly economy size. I filled this little puppy to the brim, like a true american. After shopping I ate this delicious meal inside a little fast food japanese egg, meat and noodle joint.
Actually it wasn`t technically fast food in the American sense of burgers and fries in 2 minutes. Delicious. All japanese food is prepared fast, but its actually quality food and doesn't give you heartburn, or worse, the runs (aka hershey squirts, sorry for the clarity)
