This experience is always amusing to me while in Japan

We are in a local bar and are officially the only gay-jans in the village

There's an American owned rock bar in Namba called Cherry Bomb that I recommend if you guys get the time.

They stock some nice craft beers.

One of the things that I love about Japan is the contradictions you encounter.

Yesterday we stopped at a convenience store to grabs some bits and pieces.  When we left there was a large white car parked casually across the entrance in complete disregard to the neatly laid out parking lots.

Sounds like they're not far away from a decent clothes branch to snag some nice pieces ;).

They must get along well, they're Brits and damn near smiling!  At the same time!
