Excuse the low quality of this photo.  I snapped this with my cellphone.  In case you can’t read it, here’s what it says:

Juicy Pork Rib meets BBQ sauce!

Smoky flavor will makes you hungry.

Looks unique shape, but VOLUME MANTEN!

Good thing I had already ordered it before I saw this confusing catch copy.  A McRIB doesn’t taste like I remember it – I remember the sauce being very red in color and that it was so hot (in temperature) that you could barely hold it.  (Mind you that was quite a long time ago)

While window shopping in one of the local surf shops, I found this wonderful Billabong fleece sweatshirt.  I couldn’t believe what I had found.  Check out the patch “Onry A Surfer Know The Feering” – Is this some kind of joke?  A product that appeals to Engrish users? Or did some creative genius not bother to run it through a grammar or spell checker?

Maybe Billabong should change their spelling to Birrabong!

This is a view of the building that my office is in. (My office is on the 2rd floor). The circular ramp is an interesting feature which caught my eye when I attended a conference here two years ago.

This is a picture taken from the 3rd floor of the circular ramp. If you look closely, you’ll see some skateboard ramps at the end of the parking lot. Behind the trees, is the beach!

Beside the parking lot, is the university baseball / soccer fields. When the weather is good, students like to fool around here!

Here are the hard tennis courts. There also two basketball hoops here as well.

Here’s a sign for the “Lifegard” club. Would you trust these guys with your life?

Here’s one of today’s lunch specials. Look what you can get for 470 yen. Three fried green pepper & chicken balls, spaghetti salad, miso soup and rice. Not particularly healthy, but filled my stomach!
