Darrin and Black Bear do Japan

Darrin and Black Bear had a recent trip to Japan for a conference. After the conference they managed to get out and see a tiny bit of Japan. Black Bear had a little bit of fun while ordering. He ordered pig's tongue and pig's ear. The pig's ear tasted a little bit like bacon rind, it wasn't the worst thing eaten for the weekend.

Black Bear, you can't drink that pitcher of beer all by yourself, but you can have fun trying.

Black Bear went to the new Sony building in Ginza. He checked out the new music devices.

Trust you Black Bear. Whenever their is a pretty girl dressed up in her traditional dress, you have to get a photo.

The streets in Japan are starting to look a lot like Christmas. Black Bear was impressed with lights.

Space is a bit tight in Japan. You can hire one of these capsuals for approximately $10 per night. Not a bad price, but I think you would have to climb out of the capsual to roll over.

Black Bear, when you said you went and had a little splash, I had no idea the mischief you were up to.

At least you went to a museum. What was on display in the museum?
