Osaka Part 3

On the Shinkansen high speed train to Osaka Kenn had a sushi bento box:



On the platform waiting for the train we saw this special edition Kit Kat. As I mentioned in a previous post, Kit Kats here come in all kinds of flavors including seasonal and special edition ones. We've recently seen chestnut, caramel, and cookies & cream.



Statues outside of PC & Melissa's hotel:


Funny fat guy (no, I don't mean Kenn!)



Overall, there was a lot of walking involved but it was a nice trip.

On a completely separate side note, I saw this in the news today:
A former creative director at Dentsu USA has filed suit against the holding company, claiming he was fired after he complained about being put in sexually-charged work situations that included side trips to a Czech brothel, a Tokyo bath house, and a Maria Sharapova photo shoot.

One of the the complaints is: A 2004 trip to a Tokyo bathhouse during which the Dentsu chief told Mr. Biegel and others to dip naked into a bath with him.

Umm, yea, anyone that knows Japanese culture should know that's normal for Japanese at a bathhouse. It's rude and actually prohibited to wear clothes.
