New addiction tool idea

Did you read this article ? "London is the most expensive dining capital in the world." Next is Paris and Tokyo is No.3. My friend in London complained that dining out in Tokyo is expensive but at least we can eat something delicious, however in London...!!" And she said the price of the subway is expensive too. In Tokyo base fare is 160yen. But it's 880yen in London. Really?? We can go out from Tokyo with 880yen.

It is speculated that Rozen Aso is Abe's most likely successor. The price of animation and manga related stock has risen since yesterday. Bandai visual, Production IG, etc,. Ha crazy. By the way, LDP sells Abe Shinzo goods. Will they stop selling them? Who wants to drink coffee with the mug.

I wrote AXE has the crazy website in Japan, I found another AXE site "AXE Busters" today. Girls put clothespins over their noses in order to prevent smelling AXE. You close their clothespins and make them come to you. Stupid game. Try it.

I heard eternal Puchi Puchi makes good sales. We always need something addictive. Nifty Portal Z has a funny post. She made her own addiction key chain. One of them was the rubber part of window frame. I understand, I have to push it and try to leave a claw mark (it is impossible though) on the train sometimes. And another one was digging crab....Ah I understand, when I eat crab I can't stop digging and picking crab meat without eating. (my family thinks I am convenient). Those are great ideas, I think those addiction tools will be released because eternal puchi puchi is such a hit.

I enjoyed this post "textbooks in the world" too on the Nifty Portal Z today. There is a Textbook library in Tokyo and you can see textbooks of the world. He checks 15 country's textbooks (some old textbooks). Russian, Hungary and France have nice designs. Why do the kids look so serious and annoyed in Thailand? This one remind me of "the Ant and the Grasshopper"(I must say, the story is a sort of trauma for me. I kept working busy.) and those adults look like western people. And also this is one of Sweden. Why do the two big kids look furtively in that direction? evil, dark mood....

I live in the armpit of North America - both Tokyo and London are extremely advanced and sophisticated compared to where I live (especially with public transportation!) But we have many wilderness areas and a lot of wildlife you would never see otherwise...moose, deer, elk, bear, mink, beaver, coyotes, foxes, eagles, osprey and my favorite - wild wolves!

But the food here is very bland just plain distgusting compared to Europe or Japan.

I think the Swedish kids smell something in the toddler's diaper...;

I gotta get me an eternal puchu puchi!

Yeah; London is expensive, but it's worth it! Anyway salaries are much higher there, so it's to be expected.
We eat out at a restaurants less in London, so it's more of a luxury, especially compared to Japan.
Regarding the subway (TUBE as we call it). Yes, it's more expensive than Tokyo. Tokyo is especially cheap and efficient - one of the best in the world. However, the normal single fare is 1.5 pounds - about 300 Yen. That's with the Oyster card (like PASMO / SUICA), which everyone uses.
The price of 4 pounds - probably the 880 Yen your friend was referring to - is only if you forget your card and need to buy a single ticket.

Overall, for eating out and public transport, Tokyo easily beats London. For architecture, culture, entertainment, London is where it's at!! IMHO...
