Sushi... One of the
things that are worthy in Japan!
Rounding Sushi restaurant "KaitenZushi" : Sushi plates are on a conveyor belt and the diners just need to pick up their plates from a variety of Sushi. Here are Nahomu San and me, in KaitenZushi in Amerika Mura, Osaka's fashionable area. @ |

Trying on a Japanese girl's 20 CM

The Japanese play "Go". A strategic game alike Chess. There are halls in which bunch of people play this game. For some reason, there was not a single woman there! |

With Saori San, In a Japanese Bar in Nihon Bashi. |
Karaoke: one of the main
Japanese entertainments. Mostly, since it might be embarrassing to sing in
public, the Japanese sing Karaoke in a private room, alone or with some
friends. There is a huge collections of songs in Japanese and in English.
Surprisingly, I found here the song of "HaLev" (Marco, looking for his mother) and "Nils" (and the Gooses). The
Japanese were as surprised to hear it in Hebrew as much as i was surprised
to hear it in Japanese...

And of course.. How can I forget the Pachinko...
A Japanese gambling game, looks like a vertical Pinball. The Japanese are addicted to this game, and I really don't understand why... (Of course I won nothing in this game, but I really wanted to try...) @ |
