Nihon: The Kawaii Culture

Japan is the epitome of cuteness. Everything comes with a mascot.

Brands, restaurant signages, government logos and even public service messages are oh-so-cute.

Bottled water, snacks, lunch boxes, household products and everything else comes with a lil' toy, hand phone strap or key chain. Or at the very least, a cute logotype with sweet colours to boot. Even the plants are so kawaii des!

If the exchange rates wasn't such a killer I would have bought everything in sight!

Onigiri/Yakigiri: notice the puny soy sauce bottle that comes with it?

Damn! we should have tried the puffer fish. Ok I admit I'm one Cheapo.

Good thing is, my feet are back to normal condition now

That's because you had 1 1/2 foot massages.
