About Blog

    Instead of bombarding our friends & family with mounds of pictures every single day I've created this blog.

    You can access it anytime of day or night, & when you get bored reading my commentary, you can always look at the pictures & go about your day.

    You can expect at least a post a day most every day, including pictures, so refresh often! Also, be sure to sign the guestbook (located here) to let us know you've visited.

Vending Machines Abound

I read in two different travel books that the ratio of vending machines to people in the city of Tokyo is 20 to 1. One vending machine for every 20 Tokyoites. The population of Tokyo itself is over 12 million people! That's insane. And even crazier (to me) is that with all of these vending machines around, no one eats or drinks on the streets of Tokyo.

Apparantly it is just short of taboo to do so. Except for ice cream. Huh? Wonder why that is. Guess you can't transport ice cream to where you want to eat it, now can you?
