              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.

                S "Yes"
                G "How do you know?"
                S "The licence plate is 4455, the number of the Kojima Yakuza Branch"

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

                              Great thread and great photos. Thanks @Giles and @Alex

                              Maybe so. Maybe not

                                            It is a common misperception that jeans are starched post construction.  The denim warp is made stiff and slippery with the application of a sizing agent (typically starch) before the weaving process.  This gives the warp less friction, so the weaving process is more efficient and warp breakages (which cost a load in loom down-time) are reduced…
