Japanese Soccer and Japanese Fruit

Guess where I played soccer this morning!? The Tokyo Dome.

What’s that you ask? It’s like the equivalent of playing at Yankee’s Stadium or something like that. The Tokyo Dome is home to the Yomiuri Giants, which is where Matsui (important to note that Matsui is my best friend) used to play for in Japan.

We had the whole stadium to ourselves and it was pretty exciting.

I had some cool pictures with the team, but my camera-phone-camera-thingy got all fogged up in the excitement.

Occasionally people ask about Japan. How is it? Is it really as crazy as people say it is? Where is the great wall? Is it really expensive as it is?

Since we don’t really talk much about it here, we decided to show this picture: (can you guess what it is!?)
Japanese Melon

It’s a melon. A cantaloupe. That’s it. Nothing special.
oh wait… if you thought that, you would be WRONG

It’s a muskat melon (??), and if you calculate the two prices on there, it would equal about $120 and $150 Canadian for each of those melons. ONE MELON.

Tastes just like cantaloupe. I settled for an $8 bag of kinkans (kumquat). Wow, I didn’t even know what a kumquat was until right now. I always assumed it was a vegetable. It’s not. It’s a little mini-orange whose skin you eat.
Finally, a big HAPPY WEDDING to my good friend Shin who married his girlfriend of a few years (met in Toronto!), Yukie.

Once again, my camera is foggy, so please be forgiving. Shin, Yukie, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

That may or may not be Yoshi in the background.

(Apparently black shirt, black suit, black ties aren’t cool at Japanese weddings.) oops.

An update to an update…

Oops. I promised some weirdness in my last update. I forgot the weirdness.

You want weirdness?

Let’s see… how about the Perverted Old Man Photography Club that has young models come and pose in front of various things picture? Today’s theme was cherry blossoms.

Cherry Blossom Girl Photo Club

Apparently they meet every once in awhile and have models stand in front of different things where they take pictures. This was just the first round. Right as we were leaving they had changed into mini skirts and there was a camera taking frenzy. nice… never mind the lack of cherry blossoms.

Ok… we should balance that out with a cool picture of Noa (because he is cool.)

Noa is cool

He looks like a rapper.

Hmm… still not balanced.

Let’s add in a movie of him saying something random:

Finally, people have been asking about what Noa likes.

Here is a list of things that Noa likes that may or may not be correct.

  1. Food (any)
  2. Anpan-man
  3. Trains and Cars
  4. Elephants
  5. Punching his parents in the face and then saying “ow”
  6. Dancing
  7. Stickers

Recently he loves peeling off stickers. Fortunately he usually puts them on paper.
