They have the coolest names for stuff there. Here that place would be named "Jims car world" or something.

For all their advance technologies, apparently they still haven't discover the greatness of 3-prong plugs.

Mr. bemani, are you still in JP? Keep posting pics (or show us when you get back). I may not always comment but curious oddities like the wall outlet above are things that I've never seen before, having never been outside of the U.S.

Hope your trip is going well.

Alan (bemani), you wouldn't happen to be over there looking at robots? The reason I ask is that one of the customers (Greg Chema) on my project here at Intel just got back from Japan doing just that. I thought it would be an interesting coincidence if we end up working together on my project.

No, I'm here to attend a friend's wedding (which is tomorrow). Though it would be interesting to have been able to see things like the new ASIMO in person.
