Big in Japan

I'm a big guy. At 6'2, 220 I'm big by anyone's standards.
But in Japan I am BIG.

Too big.

Too big for the bed in the hotel and like wise for the shower. My feet are too big for the special slippers you have to wear when entering certain temples and many bathrooms. My butt is too big for some of the chairs and my legs are too long to fit under the table when I sit on the floor. I feel like Godzilla on a three day pass. And while I haven't crushed any buildings or brought down any high tension lines yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

I've always liked being tall. It has it's advantages. Like being able to get things from high shelves and never missing the best parts of a parade of play due to someone with an unusually large head. But having a mother snatch up her pointing children as you lumber past would take the wind out of anyone's sails.

So if you happen to see on CNN images of a large awkward creature dressed in black and being fired upon by Japanese military forces it's either me or Godzilla has started shopping at Barney's.

Of Shopping and Singing Crabs

As we were walking in a huge Kyoto shopping arcade we fell victim to the intoxicating siren song of a giant plastic crab. In an atempt to lure customers many restaurants in Kyoto employ the talents of singing plastic food all of whom have childlike voices and big round eyes. I'll post more Japanese singing entrees as I find them.
