  Colonel Sanders in Japan Costume Shocker

  05.08.07 | Permalink | 11 Comments

  In Osaka, the local Kentucky Fried Chickens like to dress their statue of Colonel Sanders in a seasonal outfit instead of his white suit he usually wears. I first noticed this last summer at the Tenjin Matsuri where the Colonel is dressed in a yukata – a traditional festival going costume. Fast forward to Christmas [...]

  01.01.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Kansai Time Out is a very high brow publication but sometimes they go too far in their superiority complex. They seem to assume that if you read this magazine, you are all-knowledgeable about Asian affairs. Japanzine, a competing magazine, has articles on how to drink for cheap in Japan and previews of upcoming music festivals. [...]

  Acid T-shirt

  10.31.06 | Permalink | 2 Comments
