Shiteyan'yo

I've been meaning to make this post for a long time now. For some reason I'm fascinated by this two legged Miku face meme. It's creepy and scary, but I'm intrigued. Very unique creature that roams this land ^_^ So I figured it's appropriate for a Halloween post, yes? The pic above is my favourite Shiteyan'yo picture. Very deceiving!

Sea-to-Sky TakoLuka

Sea-to-Sky Highway is one of Vancouver's famous roads that goes from Vancouver to Whistler and even further into the mountains. I'm borrowing that name for this post, because it's pretty close to where TakoLuka has gone for this past two weeks ^^

Reunion at Torarenbo

At the planning stages, my 2 college friends and I never thought of it as a reunion, just a gathering. We occasionally meet up and have dinner together to catch up. It was always hard for us to decide where to eat. It takes at least a few emails before we decided. Fortunately I was browsing Chun's blog at the time and saw her new favourite sushi restaurant, Torarenbo. So since I haven't had sushi for a while and was craving it, I tossed the idea in the air and... well... It landed there.

So logically, I will warn you that this contains food photos, not as many, but enough to make you hungry or craving for sushi... Blame Chun for this :P

In a Foreign L.A.nd

I knew the exact moment that I had landed in a foreign land when I saw a Best Buy vending machine... Best Buy is usually just an electronic store and it's usually Japan who has vending machines for everything, but this is definitely a first. You just don't see many vending machines that will have iPods, DSi, GPS, digital cameras, phone charger, headphones and DS games in one place anywhere. If it were any other places than the airport that the glass will not stay intact for long.

TakoLuka Fun: 20 Years in Canada Addendum

So as I mentioned earlier... We celebrated our 20th year in Canada by going to all-you-can-eat sushi at Oo Saki Machi. There were seven of us; my brother's girlfriend and a couple who are very close family friends.

This post contains food, but not that much, so you may not get that hungry (no, this is not a guarantee).

Ecchi Food and TakoLuka

Can food be ecchi? Well I'm sure there's that kind of fetish somewhere, but I'm not talking that kind of "ecchi food". I'm talking about the pleasure kind of ecchi, y'know, like you know it's good, but you shouldn't do it all the time. Well this is that kind of food... The KFC Double Down. Two pieces of bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of breaded boneless chicken slathered with spicy mayonnaise. Delicious? Kinda. Good for you? HELL NO!

Just so you know... the top half of this post contains food. Probably not the kind you'd eat, but it's still food, so if you're hungry then I'd say proceed at your own risk or skip to the last half of the post.
