Boob Pudding, Anyone?

Ok, Japan has some unusual products and this is proof. I believe we were in the building of Tokyo Tower and there was a gift shop with food and souvenirs. Tyler and Hector were in the bathroom so I was browsing the items and behold, boob pudding! This is what is written on the box, "A first class cook seasoned these dishes with advanced techniques and highest class materials. Please enjoy this 'tastiness'. This sweetness which cheers adult!" Hmmm...interesting translation but this is hilarious! I was almost tempted to buy it but I don't know about eating it.

Another unusual sight is the Japanese toilets which are in the ground and one must squat to use it. This is a public restroom which had both Japanese and Western style toilets and no one used these. Even the Japanese women waited for the Western toilets. I did use one of these Japanese toilets but it had a big U shaped pole bolted into the ground in front so one can hang on and not fall into the toilet. Also I noticed that many Japanese women wore skirts maybe because it is easier to pee if you have to use these toilets.

Here are some Japanese girls that we met while in line waiting for the lighting of the shrine in Kyoto. Of course, Tyler was in full charmer mode with them even though they spoke little English. I was surprised that Joshua let one of them hold him. We were joking that they were Puffy AmiYumi and they were surprised that we knew of them. Another lady behind them translated for us since she spent 3 years living in Georgia with her husband. There were mobs of people waiting to view the shrine and then tour the grounds. We also met a guy backpacking through Japan who was from San Diego. It was amazing to meet other Americans while in Japan; we met another couple from San Diego and another couple from Tustin. Small world. Hector even had an experience while searching for milk in a convenience store...it turns out that the clerk spent a few years in El Monte where Hector went to high school. We have so many great memories from our trip.
