Ferrari situation in Japan


I love Ferrari. Actually I have one, F430, as you can see in the picture above. actually it's 4cm miniature though.

In Japan it's not so hard to own Ferrari. So you can see a lot of Ferraris in big cities like Tokyo. But I think it's ridiculous. I mean how can a 500 horsepower Ferrari be unleashed on small roads in Tokyo? In fact Ferraris in Tokyo run like donkeys, not like horses. Those people just want to show they can afford cars like Ferrari. They're just wankers.

But some of them deserve Ferrari, those who drive Ferrari to mountains or peaks. They alter their Ferraris so that the engines may sound even more beautiful. They know Japanese roads are too small for 300km/h Ferraris. Instead they make their Ferraris sound higher and sharper. They really sound like music in soprano.

The most boring prefecture in Japan

Have you ever heard the word "Saitama"? I suppose not. It's where I live, and also is the most boring prefecture in Japan. No beautiful sight, no decent culture, no decent restaurant, there are just houses.

Being right in north of Tokyo, Saitama is just a place to sleep. I mean, people in Saitama go to Tokyo to work in the daytime and come back home just to sleep. So Saitama is absolutely empty in the daytime. Well, there are bunch of bored housewives though.

In the nighttime, On the other hand, the city is full of drunks. They are everywhere. Workers in Saitama don't know how to drink. Of course they drink too much. They drink so much that they can't even walk home. Some are screaming some other planet's language. You can imagine some zombie movies.

Black Nikka


This whiskey is called Black Nikka, Jack Daniel's in Japan. I'm not a big fan of this kind of alcohol. So I don't know if it is a good one. But it gets me drunk at least.
The drink is for 300 Yen, about 3 Dollars, and is bought in almost all convenience stores in Japan.
By the way I saw a White guy lie on the street in Shibuya 2 days ago. If you see a foreign guy sleeping on the street in Tokyo, there are two possibilities. 1,Got lost in impossibly complex trains. 2, Got drunk too much in Roppongi (where every foreign male loves to go.) And that night, I knew he was sleeping because of the possibility no.2. He was holding Nikka in his hand.
